Allied Signal

Fort Lauderdale, FL


At Allied Signal's Commercial Air Transport division, I developed software tools for servicing line replaceable avionics units. My software could generate reports from fault memory, program flash memory to collect data according to user specified criteria and produce reports from data collected in flight. This software was developed using C++ in a PC/Windows and VAX/VMS environment.

I also developed a system for validating embedded ADA software for flat panel cockpit displays. This system allowed users to specify tests in a concise format. Each test specification was compiled to produce a command script to drive a DDC-I debugger, a vector of expected test results and a cross reference of requirement numbers actually tested. The command script caused the debugger to load the units under test onto a board in an Intel Multi-Bus rack, execute the specified test vectors and produce a file of actual output values. Once the test was complete, my system would generate a report by comparing the actual test results to the expected test results. Though the units under test were all written in ADA and ran on an embedded 486 board, all the code in my system was written in C and ran on a network of Sun Solaris workstations and servers.
