Zusammenfassung: | A system installed on an aircraft. The system includes a memory storing static information in one or more optical fibre gratings; and an interrogator. The interrogator includes a light source configured to transmit interrogation light to the memory, a receiver configured to receive return light from the memory, and an analyser configured to analyse the return light to obtain the static information. The light source, the receiver and the analyser are part of an interrogator, and the interrogator is part of a replaceable unit which can be removed from the system by breaking one or more optical connections between the memory and the interrogator. The replaceable unit comprises a processor capable of executing multiple software configurations, the software configuration which is executed by the processor is determined by the static information obtained from the memory, the analyser is configured to transmit the static information to the processor, and the processor is configured to select the appropriate software configuration accordingly. |
