Abstract
A new computer program called the X-Windows Interactive Data Editor (XIDE) has been developed and demonstrated as a prototype application for editing radio metric data in the orbit-determination process. The program runs on a variety of workstations and employs pull-down menus and graphical displays, which allow users to easily inspect and edit radio metric data in the orbit data files received from the DSN. The XIDE program is based on the OSF/Motif (Open Software Foundation) Graphical User Interface (GUI) and has proven to be an efficient tool for editing radio metric data in the navigation operations environment, It has been adopted by the Magellan Navigation Team as their primary data-editing tool. Because the software was designed from the beginning to be portable, the prototype has been successfully moved to new workstation environments. It has also been integrated into the design of the next-generation software tool for DSN multimission navigation interactive launch support.
