Accurate diagnosis of avionics fagures is being complicated by increasing "PleXiw in the Prime system, combined with COTS maintenance documentation and software that tend to be less comprehensive and more difficult to keep current, when compared to that of specially developed systems. These complications, and their potentially THE TEST ENVIRONMENTThere are several aspects of the test environment for which a networked approach to diagnostic support is indicated. Flight Line to' perat ions negative impact on diagnostic effectiveness and mission readiness, can be alleviated by using modern network technology to provide an "expert presence" at the local maintenance site, even though the expertise to solve a given diagnostic problem may be distributed among several remote locations. &pert presence includes, but is not limited to, video conferencing. Uploading of cockpit video, as well as special documentation and software downloads may also be employed.

Modern radio interferometers such as the LOw Frequency ARray (LOFAR) are capable of producing data at hundreds of gigabits to terabits per second. This high data rate makes the analysis of radio data cumbersome and computationally expensive. While high performance computing facilities exist for large national and international facilities, that may not be the case for instruments operated by a single institution or a small consortium. Data rates for next generation radio telescopes are set to eclipse those currently in operation, hence local processing of data will become all the more important. Here, we introduce the REAL-time Transient Acquisition backend (REALTA), a computing backend at the Irish LOFAR station (I-LOFAR) which facilitates the recording of data in near real-time and post-processing. We also present first searches and scientific results of a number of radio phenomena observed by I-LOFAR and REALTA, including pulsars, fast radio bursts (FRBs), rotating radio transients (RRATs), the search for extraterrestrial intelligence (SETI), Jupiter, and the Sun.
