Abstract
Systems and methods for recording and communicating engine data are provided. One example embodiment is directed to a method for testing communications. The method includes receiving a message via a data load protocol. The method includes initiating a connectivity test, in response to the received message. When the connectivity test fails, the method includes transmitting a failure signal associated with the data load protocol. When the connectivity test passes, the method includes transmitting a success signal associated with the data load protocol.
Claims20
A wireless communication unit configured to be located in a nacelle associated with an engine of an aerial vehicle comprising:
- one or more memory devices;
- one or more processors configured to:
- receive a message via a data load protocol;
- initiate a connectivity test, in response to the received message;
- when the connectivity test fails, transmit a failure signal associated with the data load protocol;
- and
- when the connectivity test passes, transmit a success signal associated with the data load protocol.
A method for testing communications comprising:
- receiving, by one or more computing devices, a message via a data load protocol;
- initiating, by the one or more computing devices, a connectivity test, in response to the received message;
- when the connectivity test fails, transmitting, by the one or more computing devices, a failure signal associated with the data load protocol;
- and
- when the connectivity test passes, transmitting, by the one or more computing devices, a success signal associated with the data load protocol.
