Abstract

The Embedded Computer System Integration Support (ECSIS) family of system integration support products has been targeted to meet the instrumentation requirement of the distributed avionics architectures currently evolving. This family of products provides basic stand-alone capabilities as well as simple expansion through the addition of other family members to a test configuration. Descriptions are given of the following processor and data bus monitor and control products: (1) X-TRAC, an embedded computer system (X) tool for real-time analysis and control; (2) X-PROBE, a user friendly window oriented monitor and control test operator interface; and (3) X-PIM, personality interface modules which provide the customer interface for the X-TRAC to individual processor and data bus targets
