1.8 Network Interface
During its operation the EGSE will be connected both to LAN’s and WAN’s. It is foreseen that the
EGSE will analyse data obtained via a network during the flight operation phase, or that the data
storage will be organised via network. The EGSE will support these functions. During system level
tests the EGSE will be connected to the central checkout system, provided by the project. The Central
Checkout System (CCS) is not a part of the EGSE. It is assumed that the communication between the
EGSE and the CCS shall use the network interface.
1.9 Software Description
The two SW modules, written in C++, will run under the Linux operating system (Slakware
distribution). The SCOE module will use the KDE-Qt X Library and will communicate with MEXILT
module using BSD socket communication protocol. The user interface will be a graphical windows
interface.
The S/C simulator SW is written in C language and downloaded to the DSK board from MEXILT
module at start up.
