The Satellite Data Model (SDM) developed at Utah State University (USU) is a plugand-play system for satellites. An xTEDS must be written for each sensor device that participates with the SDM. An interface module called an Appliqu e Sensor Interface Module (ASIM) must be developed to interface between the SDM and the sensor device. The program code that runs on an ASIM can be di cult to develop. This paper presents a technique for automatically generating ASIM program code by extrapolating the needed information from the sensor device’s xTEDS. This technique has been implemented in a tool called the ASIM Wizard. The ASIM Wizard reduces the time and e ort required to develop an ASIM.
