Abstract:Aiming at the problem that the weather radar failure test platform lacks remote control methods and has limitations in its use, a software that can remotely control this platform has been developed. Based on the parameter setting requirements and the board driver mode of oscilloscope, power meter, spectrum analyzer, and signal source which are built in the weather radar fault test platform,the software adopts the standard C/S architecture design method. The software is composed of three parts: user layer, driver management layer and instrument driver layer. In the driver management, the process of weather radar index measurement, the interface for calling the driver, and the processing method of measurement data are emphatically studied. Using this software to remotely control the weather radar fault test platform to measure weather radar indicators, the measurement results show that the error between the remote measurement value and the field measurement value is extremely small. The software has a certain degree of reliability and can be used for weather radar fault diagnosis and scaling.
