摘要: |
The project consisted of using the following research methodology: evaluating computer hardware and software procured for the purpose of creating a process-control and data acquisition system for the Texas Mobile Load Simulator; determining any additional hardware and software needed for the system, if necessary; hiring and supervising an independent software engineer whose job was to integrate the various system components; debugging the system on an on-going basis; and recommending changes to the original system design, even to the extent of suggesting new areas of related research. The two major findings of the project are these: (1) cellular technology is too slow and too expensive to use as a transfer method for large quantities of data, such as that generated by the TxMLS; and (2) SCO UNIX is too complex and too expensive an operating system to use in any part of the computer system. |
