Abstract

A method to process Portable Memory Device (PMD) files from an electronic engine control system includes mapping each of a multiple of Health Report Code (HRC) records from a Portable Memory Device (PMD) such that each Health Report Code (HRC) record is accessible through a specific HRC number related to each of the multiple of Health Report Code (HRC) records.

Claims

1. A method to process Portable Memory Device (PMD) files comprising:

mapping each of a multiple of Health Report Code (HRC) records from a Portable Memory Device (PMD) such that each HRC record is accessible through a specific HRC number related to each of the multiple of HRC records.

2. The method as recited in claim 1, further comprising time sorting the multiple of HRC records.

3. The method as recited in claim 1, wherein at least one of the multiple of HRC records occurs more than once while mapping to form an instance.

4. The method as recited in claim 3, wherein each instance is grouped and time sorted.

5. The method as recited in claim 4, wherein the time sorted instances include a binary buffer pointer.

6. The method as recited in claim 3, wherein the mapping includes time sorting each HRC record per HRC instance.

7. The method as recited in claim 1, further comprising processing the Portable Memory Device (PMD) files from an electronic engine control system.

8. The method as recited in claim 1, further comprising processing the Portable Memory Device (PMD) files from a gas turbine engine.

9. The method as recited in claim 1, further comprising processing the Portable Memory Device (PMD) files on an Off Board Prognostics Health Monitor.

10. A method to process Portable Memory Device (PMD) files comprising:

generating a relationship between each of a multiple of Health Report Code (HRC) records, HRC instances, and packets within a Hash Map.

11. The method as recited in claim 10, wherein each HRC instance is grouped and time sorted.

12. The method as recited in claim 10, wherein each record in the Hash Map represents HRC data accessible through its specific HRC number.
