This standard covers design requirements, performance requirements, and methods of procurement for tools and associated accessories used to cut aerospace vehicle electrical wire and cable. Aerospace vehicle electrical wire has stranded conductors with protective plating and specialized insulation. Poor quality wire cutting can compromise the performance of wiring.
SAE J2945/A and this Abstract Syntax Notation (ASN.1) file precisely define the structure of the data used to implement applications conformant to the Recommended Practice. Using the ASN.1 specification, a compiler tool can be used to produce encodings using encoding rules identified in J2945/A. Both this ASN.1 file and the SAE J2735 ASN.1 files are necessary to collectively implement the data structures described in the J2945/A. The combined library can be used by any receiving application (along with the additional logic of the application). SAE J2945/A also provides recommendations for the interface for sending and receiving Road Geometry and Attributes (RGA) messages. It provides the information necessary to build interoperable applications that rely on RGA messages.
