ABSTRACT:
A sensor input/output system in a main radar system maintains continuous power to the compass interface when the main radar system is shut down. A single level of interrupt handlers is utilized without interrupt nesting or control by task executive software. The sensor input/output system is functionally partitioned such that all of the service required by an interrupt is continuously provided until the service is completed. A digital processor for providing the interrupt servicing and control and PROM firmware for storing the interrupt handlers also have backup power continuously applied. Since the processor compass interrupt handler and compass interface are continuously powered, heading synchronization is maintained by the main radar system during power down conditions.
