Abstract

Automated data acquisition and analysis methods at the Benefield Anechoic Facility have improved the test process. Programming has primarily been implemented with a graphical programming language for test and evaluation created by Hewlett-Packard called Visual Engineering Environment (HP-VEE). First is a Signal Verification System (SVS) (1995). A second example is an aircraft antenna pattern testing data analysis program called Antenna Pattern Correction Software (APCS). A final example is a transmission line network analysis program for remote test equipment
