The purpose of the RCS ISPALM Program is to support either inflight or postflight analysis of the performance of the LM-RCS based on the telemetered flight data.This document is the operational user's manual which defines and illustrates the program's usage.In order for this program to provide meaningful information to the user, it is assumed that basic functional knowledge of the LM-RCS and its associated subsystem interfaces has been acquired.This program's function is to perform those duties of aata acquisition and mathematical calculations required for a realistic evaluation of the RCS.The RCS ISPALM Program was designed ft,r ease of operation and modification in order to extend its usefulness as an engineering tool when used in reducing manual effort in the LM flight evaluation process.The program is subdivided functionally into two 10 areas: data acquisition and engineering calculations.The data acquisition portion of the program selects and processes data specified by user input and places the specified processed data values in a data bank for engineering use.The engineering section takes this data, calculates specified results and outputs them.A functional description of the engineering formulation is presented next, and the data acquisition and program operations are described following the formulations.
