1. eGUI (Enhanced Graphical User Interface) for CES

Oct 09 - Present

The Cabin Electronic System (CES) is an integrated system of the

control, display, and maintenance of all cabin systems. The development

includes the development of Graphical User Interfaces (GUIs) used in the

CES system. The system comprises Maintenance such as diagnostics, fault

messages and global office which supports office utilities like file

sharing, and Cabin utilities such as Call Lights, Lighting, Control over

Water/Waste systems and Oven / Temperature control, Shades control,

Entertainment features such as support for XM radio, DVD/CD, Camera, VCR,

Sat TV, iPod, Audio & Video on demand, Maintenance utilities for the Crew

such as printing and SATCOM services. Under Maintenance and Diagnostics

functions, the system reports LRU faults and troubleshooting details for

the passengers. The software module accepts the user request through the

TSE and communicates with the PME server through XML RPC and responds to

the user inputs.

eGUI is a runtime which renders Graphical User Interface from a XML

file. eGUI runs on a smart device with the help of WinCE and .Net compact

framework. Layout of the GUI will be scripted in the XML file. Each GUI

elements can have different states and each state can have multiple actions

associated to it. Navigation of the GUI and the action to be performed for

each GUI element will be scripted in the XML. The eGUI reads the XML and

renders the GUI and generates handlers for each GUI element as described in

the XML. This eGUI uses painting objects to render the GUI elements. All

the GUI elements are drawn and derived from Control Class.

Responsibilities:

. Design & development of various controls like GuiButton, GuiSlider,

GuiProgressbar, GuiListbox.

. Design and implementation of the TCP communication between the PME

server and the eGUI.

. Implemented a custom defined format called datastore for storing all

the icon images in file and read it back as bitmap for the

optimization.

. Implemented the download manager application to download and launch

the GUI.

. Implemented the resize tool to fit the GUI on the various resolution

screens.

. Implemented the Electronic Flight Back(EFB) GUI to be used by pilot by

resizing the GUI to 768*1024 resolution. And also implemented the

Cockpit controls and other functionalities specific to EFB. As EFB is

a WinXP device, made the changes in GUI to run in the WinXP OS.

. Supported the testing team to fix the issues found in the GUI.

Environment: A team of 10 members are involved in developing the entire

system using C#, .Net Compact Framework 2.0, MS Visual Studio 2005, C#,

XML, TCP, TFTP, Win CE, SVN.

Client: Rockwell Collins Incorporated, USA

2. TSE GUI (Touch Screen Equipment Graphical User Interface)

Oct 06 - Sep 08

The GUI developed for CES using the Airshow custom control. The GUI

was designed for various seats types like PAX, VIP, CREW and GALLEY. The

User Interface controls and displays the cabin utilities, entertainment

sources, networks and maintenance diagnostics and fault information. Cabin

Utilities allow the users to control the Cabin temperature, RTC (Read-Table-

Call) lights, other lights like wash lights, accent lights, dome lights

etc. It also supports controlling of water, lavatory, monitors, speakers,

shades and passenger briefing sub systems. Entertainment features allows

the user to control the sources such as XM radio, DVD/CD, Camera, VCR, Sat

TV, Carry-on, iPod, AVOD. And the Maintenance utilities for Crew such as

printing and SATCOM services. Under Maintenance and Diagnostics functions,

the system reports LRU faults and troubleshooting details for the

passengers. Parsing and socket communication between Touch Screen Equipment

(TSE) and Primary Master Equipment (PME) in the system.

Airshow is a custom control library for developing graphical

intensive GUI applications in Windows XP and Win CE platforms. It has three

components for the development and deployment of the GUI application namely

AsGraphics library (for WinCE & WinXP), Airshow Designer library and

Airshow Library. It facilitates in loading and rendering JPEG, PNG and BMP

images for the custom control components.

Responsibilities:

. Design & development of communication module called commsys.dll to

communicate PME.

. Design & development of the some cabin, entertainment, Global office

and maintenance pages.

utilities and maintenance diagnostics and fault information. Cabin

Utilities allow the users to control the Cabin temperature, cabin lights,

water, lavatory, passenger briefing sub systems, call lights and shades.

And the Maintenance utilities for the Crew such as printing and SATCOM

services. Under Maintenance and Diagnostics functions, the system reports

LRU faults and troubleshooting details for the passengers. Maintenance

supports turning on/off/lock/unlock of the circuit breakers and

WLU(Wireless LAN Units). The EFB_GUI is running the device called CMC EFB

of resolution 768*1024 running WinXP OS. User Interface also has the status

map and call map to locate the place of the passenger, VIP and galley seats

and also it has the Presets like Shutdown, Restart, Day Cruise, Night

Cruise, Day Boarding and Night Boarding, etc. The GUI not allowed to have

any of the audio and video entertainment sources other than Camera. The GUI

as like Galley other than entertainment sources. Other than Galley, the GUI

has specific controls to Cockpit like camera/cockpit kill switch, Flight

Crew Sleeping Quarters etc. This user interface is a .NET Application

developed using C# & runs in Win XP platform. It handles XML parsing and
