1. An avionics system, comprising:
a configuration tool, arranged to:
receive a selection of a data store of the avionics system, and a selection of at least one of a first receiving component associated with a proprietary first protocol, and a second receiving component associated with a non-proprietary second protocol;
generate a first configuration file providable to the selected at least one of the first receiving component and second receiving component, the first configuration file including instructions for at least one of a first data output from the selected data store to the first receiving component, and a second data output from the selected data store to the second receiving component;
generate, based on a received selection of the second receiving component, a second configuration file providable to the second receiving component, including instructions usable by the second receiving component to convert the second data output by the second receiving component;
a data access component, arranged to, access data in the data store based on the first configuration file, and based on a selection of the first receiving component, access a definition database defining the proprietary first protocol and to configure the accessed data in accordance with the non-proprietary second protocol based on the definition database, the data access component further configured to output the data in accordance with the non-proprietary second protocol to the at least one of the first receiving component and second receiving component, based on the first configuration file;
wherein the first receiving component is configured to receive data output from the data access component in accordance with the non-proprietary second protocol; and
wherein the second receiving component is configured to receive data output from the data access component in accordance with the nonproprietary second protocol, and to convert the data received from the data access component based on the second configuration file.
