Old Business
Command and Telemetry Intro Exercise

a. Vu
: answers for the exercises are here. Most of you guys did pretty well.
Something I wanted to note was the packet length range.
i.

Ramirez
: From what I saw on the Command powerpoint, it said
packet length was 20.

ii.

Vu
: yeah, this is the maximum amount that the arxterra app can
accept. This isnt including the packet type of the LRC Byte though.

iii.

Tran
: I was able to calculate the LRC Byte using the method that Hill
put on the PDF.

iv.

Vu
: I posted how to calculate the LRC Byte using the simple
programming calculator on the website. We can go over it.

Requirements Review

a. Becerril
: When I was writing my requirements, helped when I created a
map of what my level 1, level 2 systems, and level 2 subsystems were. This
could help me make it more quantitative.

b. Lee
: It was hard to make it quantitative on some of them. But I have an
idea of how to make them quantitative.

New Business
Demonstration Overview

a. Lee
: I wasnt able to connect to the Bluetooth correctly, but our E & C guy
was able to code something himself to provide something. Were going to
continue working on it.
b. Tran
: I still need to make some measurements to double check on the
arms.
c. Becerril
: I think we did alright, we did some testing on the EDFs.

Verification

a. Vu
: I will keep you guys posted on what to do with the Verification Matrix.
The Wednesdays division manager provided some information on
definitions and terminologies. Let me know if you have questions.
b. Ramirez
: What if were still working on our requirements?

c. Becerril
: For UFO, we still need to do a couple more tests so we can write
quantitative requirements.
d. Vu
: Thats fine. You can submit a preliminary one since you should have a
few quantitative ones by now.
