Collaboration on config files

[Christian Reinecke]

Hello, 

I was wondering how other people/orgainzations are collaborating on one config file. 

As there might be instrumentation engineers required to work on the config file (defining parameters, etc), at the same time other flight test engineers are required to prepare pages. 

What are the best practices wrt collaboration on config files? I would like to avoid working on different config files, as otherwise later, parameter on pages need to be reassigned, right?

Thank you

Chris

Hello Chris,

 

I believe the most common method used is for individuals to work on their own local copy of the config file (which often includes historical data for screen building) and then performs Analysis Window and/or Desktop exports.  These export files then get imported into a unified config file.

 

Another semi common option is to perform multiuser updates while multiple systems are connected to and IADS Real Time Server during a mock real time mission.  There is also a less common method to use an IADS Post Test Data Server which can act as a substitute for a Real Time Server.

 

Any overlap of responsibilities will need to be coordinated, so that people don’t step on the changes of others.

 

Parameters which are already associated with displays won’t need to be reassociated unless the name of the parameter changes.

 

I hope that helps.  If your team runs into a trouble spot, please let us know and we can offer suggestions.

 

Regards,

Mike
