Diseño de un prototipo de ajuste de presión atmosférica de una cámara altimétrica para pruebas de altímetros sensitivos por medio de visualización en LabVIEW.

Abstract

Aircraft during flight are subjected to extreme pressure and climatic conditions due to the different changes in height that they experience in their stages of operation. The altimeter is a flight instrument responsible for providing the height at which the aircraft flies, it must be calibrated in a certified aeronautical repair shop annually depending on the aeronautical regulations of each country. To carry out this test, the Instrument Workshop of the Air Maintenance Command has an altimetry camera with manual operation and display of indications by means of a mercury column, making correct calibration difficult. A prototype is required to control pressure safely and reliably. positive and negative through a friendly graphical interface in which the operator can control the desired simulated atmospheric pressure, with the help of LabVIEW and servos.
