Transporting test program sets from one test station to another is a complicated and potentially costly task. Significant cost reductions are possible by sharing common software modules developed by other groups or reusing common modules from previous projects. The Boeing Company is a large and diverse company, often concurrently designing several large scale test stations for a variety of military...
Automatic Test Equipment (ATE) Engineering often involves modernization of legacy test systems. With anticipated reductions in the DoD budgets and increasing system test complexity, modernization can be quite challenging. Most of the time these legacy systems have minimal or occasionally no documentation. How do you get from an aging legacy system lacking documentation to an updated modern test system...
Department of defense (DoD) maintenance depots face a growing challenge regarding legacy Automated Test Systems (ATS). These systems, which are critical to ensuring mission success, are increasingly difficult to maintain and repair as well as being costly to modernize or replace. According to the General Accounting Office, the DoD has estimated that they will spend billions of dollars to modernize...
Test forensics is a systematic approach for evaluating execution results of a Unit Under Test (UUT) over a broad set of criterion. Execution results include the traditional test numbers, measured values and limits, but also include timing relationships and configuration information about the UUT and Automatic Test Equipment (ATE) used while conducting the test. Occasionally a test may pass on station...
Two System Test Program Sets (TPS), Digital-Analog (DA) and Radio Frequency (RF) Calibration for the Versatile Depot Automatic Test Station (VDATS) were developed to semi-automate the process of Automated Test Equipment (ATE) calibration. Calibration for ATE in the U.S. Air Force (USAF) is defined as the verification of instrumentation accuracy by comparing the instrument to a known standard. The...
According to the design principal of generalization and modularization, we made the best of the technical advantages of the LXI (LAN extensions for instruments) to design the hardware platform of this Universal Test System of a Missile Launcher in line and shop (UTSML), and described its software model based on UML (Unified Modeling Language). In the way, flexible hardware platform and reusable software...
