Description

The Data Storage Unit is the fundamental memory component for storing binary data within the simulation. It provides a byte-level storage container with pointer-based access, enabling spacecraft systems to store, retrieve, and delete data during operations. The unit models realistic onboard memory with capacity constraints, data persistence across simulation saves, and bit-flip error injection for radiation environment studies.

Properties

Declared	Description
Allocated	The total amount of bytes that has been allocated within thedata storage unit. This is not the capacity if all data has notbeen allocated yet.
Capacity	The total amount of bytes stored within the data storage unit.This is the total amount of memory used by the data storage unitbut not the total amount allocated at any point in time.
Chunks	The total number of individual write chunks that exist withinthe data storage unit. Each write operation will create a chunkthat can be referenced by the pointer, holding the data.
Locked	A flag that indicates whether the data storage unit is locked.If the unit is locked, no data can be modified or added to the unit.

Inherited	Description
IsEnabled	Is true if the object is currently enabled.
Name	The display name or tag of this object.
Parent	The currently attached parent object (if any).

Methods

Declared	Description
DeleteAll	Deletes and clears all data within the data storage unit.This will delete all access memory and reset the buffer.
FlipBits	Loops through the data and checks to see if any bits flip.Since this is a probability based outcome, each byte has adefined probability that a bit within the byte can be flipped

Inherited	Description
FindParentWithID	Returns an attached parent that satisfies the specified ID.
FindParentWithType	Returns an attached parent that satisfies the specified type.
FindRootWithID	Returns a root object that satisfies the specified ID.
FindRootWithType	Returns a root object that satisfies the specified type.
