1.3 SYSTEM DESCRIPTION
The KPA 900 Configuration Module Programmer consists of a KPA 900 hardware
programmer and controlling software, which operates on an IBM-compatible personal
computer. The programmer is designed to program the CM 2000 configuration module for
the ART 2000/2100 weather radar systems and the KRA 405B Radar Altimeter. Previous
versions of the KPA 900 supported configuration modules from additional systems that
version 2.0 does not support.
The KPA 900 software has selectable configuration options for each particular system.
These options may be stored in the Configuration Module and/or stored as a file to disk.
User-generated comments may be added to these files. A record of user actions and the
status of the operation are captured during the programming operation. This record may
be saved as an electronic file. Configuration Management for the programmed modules
is accomplished by appropriate archival of these files.
