METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR TRAINING A GAS TURBINE ENGINE TEST CELL OPERATOR
First Claim
1. A method for training a gas turbine engine test cell operator during a simulated engine test, said method comprising:
- transmitting, from a data acquisition and control system (DACS) to a software engine model, data indicative of at least one of an operator input and an instructor input;
receiving the data at the software engine model;
transmitting response data from the software engine model to the DACS, the response data simulating to the DACS that an operational state of a live engine has changed in response to the at least one of an operator input and an instructor input;
receiving the response data at the DACS; and
outputting an indication of the changed operational state to the operator based on the response data.

Abstract
A method for training a gas turbine engine test cell operator during a simulated engine test is provided. The method includes transmitting, from a data acquisition and control system (DACS) to a software engine model, data indicative of at least one of an operator input and an instructor input. The method further includes receiving the data at the software engine model and transmitting response data from the software engine model to the DACS, the response data simulating to the DACS that an operational state of a live engine has changed in response to the at least one of an operator input and an instructor input. The method also includes receiving the response data at the DACS and outputting an indication of the changed operational state to the operator based on the response data.
