![]() ![]() If a user has written some software which uses the SpaceWire-USB Brick, they can add this to the Brick s menu, and possibly set it as the default option.Ģ.2 NETWORK TOPOLOGY As STAR-Launch provides the ability to interact with both physical and virtual networks, and also displays the local virtual network, it was decided to expand this functionality to display the physical SpaceWire network or networks connected to a PC. Right-clicking on the icon will bring up a list of software which can be run for the SpaceWire-USB Brick, which could include the Validation Software, CUBA Software and the default option to configure the device. ![]() Double-clicking on a SpaceWire-USB Brick icon could bring up a window in which the Brick can be configured. For example, double-clicking on the 3683 icon for a SpaceWire Link Analyser would normally run the Link Analyser software for that device. Figure 1: STAR-Launch Screenshot The applications provided for each device type, and the default application for a device type, are all configurable by the user. An example screenshot is shown in Figure 1. The user can run the default software application for a device by double-clicking on its graphical representation, or bring up a menu showing all available software for the device by right-clicking on it. 1 INTRODUCTION STAR-Dundee has been working on an updated API for accessing SpaceWire devices. The services in the draft PnP definition that will be implemented in STAR-Launch are described in this paper, along with details of our experience of implementing these services. ![]() ![]() The updated software will provide many of the features described in the draft SpaceWire-PnP Protocol Definition. This paper describes the features that are currently provided by the STAR-Launch software, and the new features which are to be added. The software will then allow applications and modules to be launched to perform operations specific to the devices discovered. It will provide the ability to discover devices on a SpaceWire network and display these graphically. 1 STAR-LAUNCH AND NETWORK DISCOVERY Session: SpaceWire Networks and Protocols Long Paper Stuart Mills, Chris McClements STAR-Dundee, c/o School of Computing, University of Dundee, Dundee, Scotland, UK Steve Parkes University of Dundee, School of Computing, Dundee, Scotland, UK ABSTRACT STAR-Launch is a new software tool that can be used to launch applications and modules to interact with STAR-Dundee SpaceWire devices. ![]()
