Control

The Hyspex sensor is controlled by, and its data is logged on, a dedicated rugged PC that we have mounted to a removeable shelf in the rear cabin of the aircraft. This is powered by and connected to the network of the Central Services Module (CSM).

Control of the Hyspex system is provided over the network via Remote Desktop Protocol from the Control-Display Computer (CDC). The human interface for this is via the Front Science Panel (FSP) on the right hand side of the cockpit, and includes pushbutton multi-function display capability. All functions required to set up and control the Hyspex system are available through this push-button interface.
