LoadStar® TV
LoadStar® TV is an abbreviated version of Demo Systems’ LoadStar® program, developed to load software parts into Demo Systems’ Portable Data Loader with mass storage memory, PDL-615/MSD.
With LoadStar® TV and the PDL-615/MSD you can eliminate the need for floppy disks at the aircraft. All the loadable software for your entire fleet is stored in the PDL-615/MSD memory. Loading from memory instead of floppy disks decreases the load time by as much as 50% and frees the operator to perform other tasks, instead of inserting disk after disk for large loads.
LoadStar stores a master fleet configuration for all the airplane types and permits the tool room desktop computer to store a library of all loadable software parts. At the press of a single button, the operator can command LoadStar TV to survey the PDL-615/MSD library and to download the latest parts. LoadStar operates on Windows XP.
All new PDLs have built-in mass memory. They only need the LoadStar application program to organize and install a library of LSAPs.
Hundreds of floppy disk only Portable Data Loaders (Rev A and Rev B) are still in use worldwide. These units can be upgraded with the latest software and mass memory hardware.
