Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the field of integrated avionics technology, and in particular provides a method for capturing data automatic monitoring requirements. Background Art

[0002] The avionics core processing platform is a general processing platform that shares hardware and software resources. It provides resources such as data calculation, data transmission and data conversion for aircraft functions. Among them, the data monitoring function provides a data monitoring mechanism inside the general processing module. The input of this mechanism depends on the demand capture of monitoring data. At present, the conventional practice for data monitoring demand capture is to write the monitoring data related information in a txt format database file in advance to load the configurable parameter information, and the data monitoring software then parses and applies the database file. This method has the following three problems: First, the txt format database file cannot give prompt information to the filler, the content presentation is not clear and intuitive, and it is easy to cause the problem of irregular format. Second, for different general processing modules, it is necessary to maintain multiple different txt database files, which is easy to cause confusion, time-consuming and labor-intensive, and not conducive to unified management. Third, when the host user fills in illegal values, it is impossible to feedback error prompt information, resulting in some errors that can only be discovered when the data monitoring software is running, reducing the efficiency of demand capture.
