Abstract
A method and apparatus of displaying data in an aircraft, the method including receiving data, from at least one sensor operably coupled to the aircraft, averaging, by a control module, at least two data points of the received data to define a delta and averaged data, comparing, by the control module, the delta to a reference threshold value, and providing an indication, on a display of the aircraft, of the averaged data based on the comparing.
Claims19
A method of displaying data in an aircraft, the method comprising:
- receiving data, from at least one sensor operably coupled to the aircraft, relevant to vibration of the aircraft during flight to define received data;
- averaging, by a control module, at least two data points of the received data to define a delta and averaged vibration data;
- comparing, by the control module, the delta to a reference threshold value;
- providing an indication, on a display of the aircraft, of the averaged vibration data based on the comparing;
- and
- repeating the receiving data, averaging, comparing, and providing an indication and where when the delta is above the reference threshold value the averaged vibration data is based on two data points and when the delta is below the reference threshold value subsequent averaging includes more than two data points.
A method of displaying data in an aircraft, the method comprising:
- receiving data, from at least one sensor operably coupled to the aircraft, relevant to vibration of the aircraft during flight to define received data;
- determining, by a control module, a difference between at least two data points of the received data to define a delta;
- comparing, by the control module, the delta to a reference threshold value;
- averaging, by the control module, a predetermined number of data points based on the comparing to define averaged vibration data, wherein the predetermined number of data points is incremented when the delta is below the reference threshold value;
- and
- providing an indication, on a display of the aircraft, of the averaged vibration data.
A method of displaying data in an aircraft, the method comprising:
- a) receiving data, from at least one sensor operably coupled to the aircraft, relevant to vibration of the aircraft during flight to define received data;
- b) determining, by a control module, a difference between at least two data points of the received data to define a delta;
- c) comparing, by the control module, the delta to a reference delta threshold value;
- d) averaging, by the control module, a predetermined number of data points based on the comparing to define averaged vibration data, wherein the predetermined number of data points is incremented when the delta is below the reference delta threshold value;
- e) providing a decimal value, on a display of the aircraft, of the averaged vibration data;
- and
- f) repeating a)-e) to provide a rolling averaged vibration data.
