Patent ID: 8132155

Claim:
A computerized method of testing and verifying telemetry flight software, comprising steps of: providing a source code for implementing a data stream telemetry software, the source code including a format component wherein, the format component includes source code for scaling flight software variable values; and the format component includes source code for formatting the values as telemetry stream parameters; providing a unique version identifier in an auto-generated telemetry flight software; compiling the auto-generated telemetry flight software into an operational flight program for testing; running said operational flight program in a canned mode on a computer; writing a simulated telemetry data stream from said operational flight program to a data file; decoding said data file into a tabular format showing a value of each telemetry parameter in the simulated telemetry data stream data file; checking on the computer said telemetry parameter values in said simulated telemetry data stream data file against pre-determined canned values expected to be written into the simulated telemetry data stream by said operational flight program; and verifying on the computer the unique version identifier.
