ABSS System
Software Specification follows IEEE STD 830-1998
A) Functionality. The software is to gather ABSS sounding records and generate an easy to use map. B) External interfaces. The Software will interface with the user via its very intuitive and easy-to-use GUI. The Software will connect to ABSS units through a covered USB port on the ABSS devices. When the ABSS device is connected and the Software is running, it automatically reads the data via the use of an installed device driver which Windows uses to intalize the device. The Software will, if possible, retreive a satellite image of the GPS coordinates inside the retreived data from a military database (like Google Earth). If there is no map available it will generate a 3D colored contour map with GPS coordinates labled clearly. The Software may also be compatible with the use of Digital Cameras if the Camera in question records GPS data as a tag inside the JPEG format image. C) Performance. The Software does not truly depend on any other external source therefore the availablilty should be 100% The Software is not processor intensive and after uploading the data it should be nearly instantenous (seconds) to generate its maps. The panograph engine requires slighly more time however under no circumstances should a traditional beach survey require more than a few seconds to finish. Computational Complexity of the software is N*2 where N is the number of ABSS records collected. D) Attributes. Portability is not an issue. Security is not an issue as the software is not networked. Correctness is only limited by the accuracy of the satellite images. E) Design constraints Implementation will be done in Microsoft's C++ derivative built with Microsoft Visual C++. Software will be 100% compatible with Microsoft Windows NT, 2000, and XP. |
