PBA.pro-x-DBM
Database Manager Component
The optional PBA.pro-x-DBM Component
offers conversion, visualization and control
of raw interface data into Engineering Units
for various interface Resource Components.
The associated databases can be setup
and modified interactively via the PBA.pro
framework.
Furthermore the PBA.pro-x-DBM Compo-
nent is fully scriptable, using the optional
PBA.pro-TSM Component. Accordingly,
any existing database definition file can be
imported and used within PBA.pro.
General Features
Support of interface Resource Compo-
nents like: MIL-STD-1553, STANAG3910/
EFAbus Express (EFEX), ARINC429,
AFDX/ARINC664P7, Standard Ethernet,
Discretes, Analogues, ARINC825 (CAN bus)
Support for multiple database files to
different interface streams
Assign display to show and control
Parameter data from different sources
including interface information (e.g. status
information) within a single display
Custom display feature to create default
designer dialogs
Parameter creation and organisation in a
tree structure associated with particular
Resource Component types
Avionics Databus

formats based on recorded data/files
Offline Parameter Replay of data from
recording file to the Assign display as well
as to designer dialogs
Support for Parameter recording as alter-
native format to raw data recording
Support for Parameter classification
(for handling/displaying of e.g. secret
classified Parameters)
Fully scriptable

Resource Components from the Assign
display (like 1553 BC, 1553 RT, ARINC429
channel or ARINC664 Tx/Rx Control,)
Custom PBA.pro control via system states

User Databases

The PBA.pro supports import of user

defined databases like SQL or CSV via
scripting (TCL or Python) based on the
optional PBA.pro-TSM Component. Sample
scripts are available showing the creation
Datasets Assign of database Parameters from script.

Datasets can be edited and controlled to
feed controllable Parameters with dynamic
data contents from files. Message/buffer
updates can be triggered via the interface
hardware, via a timer or manual via a run-
time dialogue and scripting.
Offline Parameter Replay
The Offline Parameter Replay function sup-
ports a virtual replay of previously recorded
data or Parameters via user configurable
speeds. The Assign display or custom
designer dialogs support visualization of
the currently replayed values.
The Offline Parameter Replay supports the
following features:
Replay of Parameter Engineering Unit
values into the Assign display or designer
dialogs
Step forward/backward through the
Parameter Replay
Control of replay speed (slow down, real
time, accelerate)
Synchronised recording file views to the
current replay position
Search for dedicated values
Create bookmarks in the related recording
files either manually or automatically on
a condition (Assign signal)
The Assign can be used to visualize and
control data from different sources within
one common display, the Assign display.
Data can either be properties of any
PBA.pro object (e.g. from a Resource
Component) or Parameters from the data-
base. The Assign includes features such as:
Easy drag and drop Objects/Parameters
into the Assign display
Creation of default designer dialogs (e.g.
time plot, dial, LED, label, etc.)
Define signals for dedicated Parameter
values (alarm, pass, warning, etc.)
Define user definable functions to control
Parameter values (dynamic data)
Preset and control dedicated Parameter
values or entire Parameter groups
Dynamically change currently displayed
format of Parameter values (Hex, Bin, Oct,
Dec, default)
Organise the Assign display via folders,
tabs, comments, placeholders
Define calculation formulas e.g. to combine
multiple Parameters into a single value
Display of Offline Parameter Replay from
recording files with variable speed, single
step, etc.
Print functions
Dynamic filter capabilities for displaying
Parameters accordingly
