Safran CORTEX CRT Quantum User Manual page 38

The Interconnection Panel is used as the interface between the Digital I/O and Main Signal Processing boards
and the external world:

Frequency up and down converters,

Time and frequency generation sub-system,

Test equipment.
A detailed description of the Interconnection Panel is available in Section 2.
Software
1.4.3.
The CORTEX CRT Quantum is supplied with the following application software packages:

The Signal Processing Software package (SPS),

The Monitoring & Control Software package (MCS),

Optional CCSDS protocols: Command Operation Procedure (COP), SLE Gateway,

Project-specific software packages (see Annex 5).
These softwares are executed under the control of Windows Operating System. Software configuration at delivery
is described in Annex 5.
1.4.3.1. Local or Remote M&C
The Signal Processing software and Monitoring & Control software communicate by means of connected sockets
under TCP-IP protocol. Consequently, the notion of local or remote M&C is no longer applicable to the CORTEX
CRT Quantum: since the software package can be installed into any remote PC-based computer connected to
the LAN, there is no difference between operating the equipment locally (front panel keyboard and screen) or
remotely.
1.4.3.2. Signal Processing Software Package
Depending on the mission requirements, the Signal Processing software package includes the following licenses:

Telemetry software license (number of TM chains, modulation, data decoding, diversity combining, etc...),

Satellite telecommanding software license,

Satellite ranging software license,

Simulation software license.

Telemetry storage on the hard disk for further transfer to the Control Center (ftp, replay or off-line).
