![]() ![]() The scheduler relentlessly fills the TxTimeline in real time with beam-specific commands. As the radar rotates and fires its sophisticated, radio frequency pulse trains out into the ether looking for targets, the scheduler is always “ thinking” a few steps ahead of where the antenna beam is currently pointing. The radar transmit timeline is where other necessarily closely coupled scheduler sub-components add/insert commands that tell the radar hardware what to do and when to do it sometime in the future relative to “ now“. But I digress, so let me get back to the original intent of this post, which I think has something to do with how and why I use the UML. When fully developed and tested, the radar will be fielded within a hostile environment where it will (hopefully) perform its noble mission of detecting and tracking aircraft in the midst of random noise, unwanted clutter reflections, cleverly uncooperative “ enemy” pilots, and atmospheric attenuation/distortion. ![]() The scheduler component itself is embedded within yet another, larger scale component composed of a complex amalgam of cooperating hardware and software components the radar itself. ![]() It models a small, logically cohesive cluster of cooperating classes that represent the “ transmit timeline” functionality embedded within a larger “ scheduler” component. The 2nd graphic below illustrates an example of one of my typical class diagrams. Thus, I’m unencumbered by a nanny tool telling me I’m syntactically/semantically “ wrong!” and rudely interrupting my thought flow every five minutes. I simply use MSFT Visio to freely splat symbols and connections on an e-canvas in any way I see fit. Luckily, I’m not forced to use a formal UML-centric tool to generate/evolve my “ bent” UML designs (see what I mean by “ bent” UML here: Bend It Like Fowler). I’m not a UML language lawyer and I never intend to be one. The UML artifacts I concoct serve as a high level coding road map for me and a communication tool for subject matter experts (in my case, radar system engineers) who don’t know how to (or care to) read C++ code but are keenly interested in how I map their domain-specific requirements/designs into an implementable software design. I use the UML before, during, and after coding to capture, expose, and reason about my software designs.
