NetLoader

For each session a new session log file and a new event log file are created. All stored session and event log files can be inspected in a viewer window. The content of the current session log is always visible to the user.

This dialog contains a launch menu of the main data loader operations:

• Information Operations
• Look for Target Hardware – This operation allows searching the aircraft network for Target Hardware Devices (LRUs) in order to check part number, accessibility, and other information  supported by the ARINC 615A FIND protocol.
• Retrieve Target Hardware Configuration – This operation, which also searches the aircraft network for target hardware devices and displays them in a tree view, additionally allows the operator to select a device, download its software configuration information, and view the configuration in a text window.

Upload and Download Operations

• Upload Target from Media – This operation allows the user to select a media type. The  content of the media is scanned for load part numbers, which are then displayed in a tree  view for selection. Additionally, the target hardware devices are searched on the aircraft  network and displayed in another tree view. Now the operator needs to assign each of the  LSAPs to be loaded to the appropriate target device. Upon confirmation, the compiled upload schedule is executed. Instead of manually configuring the LSAPs, the operator can use the  Upload Target from Media Batch File operation to select a batch file defining which LSAPs on the media are to be loaded into which hardware targets. A detailed status report of each load is displayed.
• Download in Media Defined Mode – This operation allows the operator to select a media type. The content of the media is scanned for download definition files, which are then listed in a  tree view for selection. Now, the operator needs to select the required download definition file, which specifies the LSAPs to be downloaded from the LRUs. A detailed status report of  each download is indicated.
• Download in Operator Defined Mode – This operation allows the operator to specify the media to which the downloaded files are to be written. The aircraft network is scanned for  attached LRUs, which are displayed in a tree view. When the operator selects a device, it will  be examined for its software content. The detected LSAPs are displayed as a list of part  numbers. From this list, the operator selects the LSAPs to be downloaded.

The same TechSAT tools and solutions used during LRU development are available as tools and hardware to meet the needs of Line Maintenance, Hangar, and Repair Station users when products go into service. These solutions provide a full ongoing A615A data loading product line of support solutions for the manufacturer, with the peace of mind of customers using the same tools as applied during development.
