Title
Multi-node Network Based Control and Data Acquisition System for a VHF Radar Depth Sounder
Abstract
Currently, CSARP-Flight only works with the MCoRDS system. However, other radar systems at CReSIS would benefit from the software. Most of the systems would only need firmware changes to work properly with the software, enhancing their capabilities. Using a single software control suite on all radar systems would also facilitate operators controlling multiple systems on missions. To increase performance of CSARP-Flight, the data visualization should be modified to use OpenGL libraries instead of the current Qwt libraries. OpenGL would allow the graphics processing unit (GPU) to perform the visualizations, reducing the strain on the CPU and freeing RAM for other purposes. The combination of MCoRDS and CSARP-Flight has proven to be very beneficial to CReSIS. Airborne missions have gathered high quality data using the system which will hopefully further our understanding of ice sheets and our world.
