Implementation of Software based Mission Director and Range Director Console for HOLD Interface to Program-Clock

In Test Range Count-Down Time (CDT) is an important parameter for evaluation of flight vehicles. Remote Time Display (RTDs) are used to communicate HOLD and other commands to Program clock. This paper explains the development of Software based RTD as an alternative to conventional RTD. Its applicability to Range Requirements has been discussed. The advantages of Software based RTD over conventional RTD are also explained.
