Abstract: An avionics system can provide data to a first receiving component associated with a proprietary first protocol and a second receiving component associated with a non-proprietary second protocol. A configuration tool generates a first configuration file comprising instructions for a data access component to provide a first data output to the first receiving component, and a second data output to the second receiving component. The configuration tool can generate a second configuration file including instructions to convert the second data output. The data access component can receive a definition database defining the first protocol to convert the data according to the non-proprietary second protocol. The data access component can provide the requested data to the first and second receiving components in accordance with the non-proprietary second protocol. The second receiving component is configured convert the data received based on the second configuration file.
