The Engineering Graphical Analysis Tool environment

Abstract

The authors discuss the Activation Framework (AF) architecture and the Engineering Graphical Analysis Tool (EGAT), the utility of EGAT, and how EGAT fits into the embedded real-time development environment. EGAT provides the user with the ability to analyze and modify the dynamic control characteristics of a running AF system. This tool gives the user methods for examining the interaction between AF groups, the interaction within an AF group, and detailed information about the AF parameters and communications through a graphical interface. EGAT promises to greatly aid in the development and refinement of real-time AF systems by alleviating the current process of manually analyzing the inter-AF communication.<>
