SIB2/GSTOS Tools for Preparing Test Procedure - PlanEditor and SIB2Viewer.

In order to reduce steps in developments of spacecraft and onboard instruments, we developed two tools SIB2PlanEditor and SIB2Viewer. SIB2PlanEditor is dedicated editor for test procedure described in the ISAS command plan language. SIB2Viewer is a program to enhance capability of user interface for SIB2 (SIB2UI). Both tools reduce simple work in developments and contribute designer of spacecraft and onboard instruments to concentrate on preparation of content of test procedure and design itself. This paper describes function of these tools and evaluated merits through trial usage. By usage of SIB2PlanEditor, time needed for input of test procedure is reduced by factor 1/3~1/2. These tools are also expected to contribute to reduce time of execution of electrical integration and test of the spacecraft through promotion of SIB2 input in earlier stage of the development.
