Spectra DTP Introduction
Problem Statement Developing SCA software is too complex, too expensive, too time consuming, and forces me to become an expert in SCA platform technology when I just want to develop, test, and deploy new waveforms and applications
Solution Statement Spectra DTP provides a pre-packaged COTS SCA development and test platform with great software tools, superior RF, good demos and docs, and an affordable price…that allows me to start developing, now!
Introducing the Spectra DTP 7

24 24 Tool Support – Spectra CX
Spectra CX is an optional “add-on” for DTP4700
Provides model-driven development tool that simplifies, accelerates and validates a significant proportion of the Software Communications Architecture development process
Validates SCA compliance at the architectural and unit test level.
Generates correct-by construction SCA component structural source code in C++ (GPP) and C (GPP & DSP) with a roadmap to VHDL code generation
Generates SCA compliant artefacts such as: XML descriptor files, compliance test reports and validation documentation
SCX enables SCA & non-SCA software aspects to be developed together, integrated early and be thoroughly tested
Reduces development risk due to its consistent model-based approach
Results in a faster time-to-market, lower costs, better software quality and superior compliance for all SCA waveform and platform code developed using SCX
