4.5. Components

The Component section consists of Audio, Control, DRED (Daily Readiness), Engine, Intercom,

Platform, and Radio components. These components provide the palette from which a user creates

a model.

Audio components are used to generate and/or modify sounds. This group includes components

such as a wave generator, an amplitude modulator, an audio mixer, and a vox.

Control components provide logic for a model. This group includes components such as a logic

table, a math function, a lookup table, byte control, etc.

DRED components include objects that are used to create the daily readiness test model. DRED

components are a small, but redundant, subset of the full component set, and are not intended for

use by the customer for model development. The readiness model is dynamically generated when

triggered by a user via Telestra RMS. This group includes components such as Amp mode, bit to

byte, gain, input, math functions, mixers, and wave.

Engine components include both rotor and engine sounds. The audio from the engine and rotor

components changes dynamically based on inputs such as RPM, whine frequency, and gain.

Intercom components relate to internal communication paths within the model. This group

includes the communication panel and local intercom buses. Audio on intercom buses is never

transmitted onto the voice network. These buses are used internally to pass audio around. If inter-

com objects are put in a radio, for example, then audio can be sent out on the DIS network.

Platform components simulate power distribution to both individual assets such as radios, inter-

coms, and communication panels and to groups of assets.

Radio components include communication assets whose audio is transmitted to or received from

the voice network. The radio components include generic radios, transmitters, receivers, network

intercoms, etc.
