Figure 4.2 – Custom PC and COTS Simulation EnvironmentWhile outside the scope <strong>of</strong> this research, it suffices to say that the environmentallows for some unique monitoring and evaluation <strong>of</strong> the overall simulation. Othersubsystems were built up to handle the flow <strong>of</strong> state variables and the creation andformatting <strong>of</strong> CIFER specific time history text files.Special code was also written to handle the sweep <strong>of</strong> the vehicle. As it wouldbecome apparent, and mentioned in the proper methods to frequency domainidentification, the nature <strong>of</strong> the sweep used to generate responses is extremely important.For this reason, the changing <strong>of</strong> parameters in a timely manner is valuable. This wasaccomplished with special code and a graphical user interface (GUI) which handles thespecification <strong>of</strong> parameters. This sweep GUI is depicted in Figure 4.3.- 106 -
