Consultant - Principal Software Engineer 5/00 - 5/01
Responsible for the design and development:
. Several beamformer (BF) state behavior subsystems (apodization, focus

platform independent control parameter set specifying the current
operating state of the system. DPBF "cooks" it, adds platform dependent
parameters, and passes the "cooked data block" to BF processor for final
massage and load into 603E PowerPC.

hardware API into functional areas.
. Display and dynamic (via backdoor stimulus & state dependency engine)
diagnostic interfaces for the following BF subsystems: apodization, focus
coefficients and frame table (ATL, STL).
