Abstract: A particular method includes sending outgoing data in a first outgoing data block from a first processing system to a second processing system. The method also includes updating a first data structure at the first processing system. The first data structure indicates an order of transmission of the first outgoing data block relative to one or more other outgoing data blocks. When a first frame ends, an outgoing caboose packet is generated based on the first data structure. The outgoing caboose packet including information identifying the order of transmission of the first outgoing data block and the one or more other outgoing data blocks during the first frame. The method also includes sending the outgoing caboose packet from the first processing system to the second processing system.

Abstract: A computer readable media, includes instructions capable of being interpreted for execution by a computer processor. The instructions provide information sufficient for: reading a master telemetry definition data file; producing a source code for implementing a data stream telemetry method, and generating documentation files for the source code. The source code includes a get component, a format component, and a blocks component. The get component includes source code for accessing flight software variable values according to the master telemetry definition data file. The format component includes source code for scaling the flight software variable values according to the master telemetry definition data file. The format component includes source code for formatting the values as telemetry stream parameters according to the master telemetry definition data file.
