parameter validity

Definition

condition that defines whether the interpretation of a telemetry parameter is reliable and meaningful

Notes

  • NOTE The angular output of a gyro only has a valid engineering meaning if the power to the gyro is 'on', while at other times the output is random. Such a parameter is deemed conditionally valid, with its validity determined from the power status.
