Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention belongs to the field of spaceborne electronic technology, and particularly relates to an automatic calibration device for an analog quantity acquisition interface of a spaceborne computer and a method for realizing the same. Background Art

[0002] When testing a satellite spaceborne computer, it is necessary to calculate and calibrate the formula of the analog quantity acquisition interface. Currently, for the calibration of the spaceborne computer interface, a manual calibration method is adopted. Different voltage gear values are sequentially output to different analog quantity acquisition interfaces of the spaceborne computer through a voltage stabilizer source, and a 6 1 / 2-digit digital multimeter is used to collect the output voltage value of the spaceborne computer. By obtaining the telemetry voltage value transmitted by the spaceborne computer through telemetry, after obtaining the above data, the slope and intercept values of the calibration linear formula are calculated using the least squares method. In this solution, an artificial method is used to control the output of the voltage stabilizer source, read the parameters of the multimeter, and the satellite telemetry analog quantity acquisition value, and then calculate the least squares formula value through excel. It is necessary to calibrate a large amount of analog quantity acquisition data, occupying a large amount of labor costs and being unable to meet the requirements of batch and automatic testing of the spaceborne computer.

[0003] The mass production of commercial satellites requires a large number of satellite platforms to be supported. As the "brain" of the satellite platform, the satellite spaceborne computer is a key link in the mass production of satellites, and its production and manufacturing efficiency also affects the satellite development cycle. In the spaceborne computer test project, it is necessary to calibrate the analog quantity acquisition interface. However, due to the large number of analog quantity channel interfaces and calibration points of the spaceborne computer, for the calibration of one channel, it is necessary to sample the device sampling voltage value and the spaceborne computer sampling voltage value at 30 points respectively through the analog quantity channel, and then perform formula fitting, which takes about 1 hour. To sum up, the disadvantages of the existing satellite spaceborne computer analog quantity interface calibration method are as follows:

[0004] The calibration process is complex. It is necessary to physically connect the analog quantity output end, the reference voltage measurement end, and the analog quantity acquisition end of the spaceborne computer in sequence through a manual method using patch cables and tooling. Due to the large number of analog quantity interfaces, this method not only has extremely low efficiency but also is prone to connection errors, resulting in quality and safety problems of the product.

[0005] The data synchronization, accuracy, analog quantity reference measurement data, spaceborne computer sampling data, etc. are all viewed and recorded manually. The reference sampling voltage and the spaceborne computer sampling voltage value are recorded at different time periods. In addition, the manual recording method may have problems such as inaccurate recording operations and recording results of the recorded data, which may all lead to errors in the linear fitting result. Summary of the Invention

[0006] In view of the above problems, the present invention provides an automatic calibration device for an analog quantity acquisition interface of a spaceborne computer and a method for realizing the same, aiming to realize the automatic calibration of the analog quantity acquisition interface of the satellite spaceborne computer.

[0021] The telemetry receiving and processing module obtains the telemetry data information transmitted by the satellite-borne aircraft, and obtains the analog quantity acquisition voltage data of each interface of the satellite-borne aircraft from the telemetry information;

If it has been completed, the least squares formula fitting is performed on the acquired data; if it has not been completed, the voltage stabilization source module is controlled to output the calibration voltage of the next gear.

[0023] The fitting data export module determines the status of all calibration channels and whether all channels have completed calibration. If completed, the calibration fitting results of all channels are exported and the results are exported locally, ending the entire calibration process. If not completed, the matrix switch is controlled to switch channels and switch to the next calibration channel for acquisition and calibration, and the physical channel connection from the voltage stabilizing source module to different analog sampling channels of the satellite aircraft is established in a time-sharing manner.
