MEOS - Model Control v2 -Ground Station

Operations
A typical Ground Station often consists of a number of specialized units, e.g. demodulators, modulators, antenna control units (ACUs), converters, switch matrices, etc. These units normally have their own Graphical User Interface (GUI), but also a well-defined interface (API).
Instead of handling these units as stand alone units, MEOS™ Control integrates them into one overall system. This allows for efficient operations with minimal personnel, by providing a common user interface.
This provides operations of all equipment as one system, implying that ACUs, demodulators, switch matrices, etc. are scheduled in one operation to handle the mission in question.
In addition, MEOS™ Control provides a com mon API for external M&C clients.

Statistics
During operation, MEOS™ Control  collects all available statistics from the connected equipment, and stores it in a database. These statistics are provided in real-time through the MEOS™ Control `s external interface, through the embedded GUI, and summarized as post-pass quality reports.
By storing all statistics, and providing necessary tools, MEOS™ Control allows for both historical analysis and diagnostics.
When combined with MEOS-" Connect, the Ground Station components become an integrated part of an overall Ground Station network.

• Common, JAVA based, GUI to all integrated units Common, socket based external interface (XML format) to all integrated units Historical status data kept in SQL database, with several access tools
• Support for external overall monitoring
• and control system
• Scalable architecture, allowing for new units
• to be added
• Remote access
• MEOS™ Connect ready

• One common API and GUI to interface all units.
• Connected units appears as an integrated part of the system, thus, providing one common entry point for scheduling and status information.
• Activities can be scheduled immediately or time-based (ahead in time)
• Extensive quality reports summarizing past activities, incorporating status from all units into one XML report.
• The JAVA based Graphical User Interface can be run locally and rem otely on any computer supporting JAVA.
• Stand-alone operation or controlled by an external monitoring and control system
