• TM/TC exchange with PEM via SpaceWire
• Communication with TestMaster for TM/TC (PEM-UT in Slave mode)
• Provide simple MMI to the user for TC parameters setup and display of HK data
• Visualization of acquired data (image frames)
• Data post-processing (statistics, background evaluation, star tracking)
