Reprogramming tool
Data Loaders
Description of the technology
CS Canada Data Loaders consist of a customizable platform to reprogram an Electronic Unit. It can be used in the field or in the shop, assisting operators by automating reprogramming and limiting actions from them. They meet several standards and validation criteria. They were successfully deployed within the aerospace industry to support compliance with DO-178C.
Key objectives
- Keep operator interaction to a minimum
- Lowers the risk of :
- Operator mistakes
- Ending up with an inoperative Electronic Unit
- Data integrity verification
- Security of data
CS Canada capabilities
