Streamlining multi-site aerospace validation & production test systems

摘要

The primary strategy of the avionics company's programme was to use reliable, industry-standard test and measurement resources to deliver compact, flexible, integrated solutions that were easy-to-use and sustainable over a long period - typically 15 to 20 years. To cover all of the required existing and potential future testing requirements, the system architecture needed to be highly flexible, in order to allow various instruments to be switched to each LRU input/output channel - over 400 points in total. The ability to inject simulated faults (for instance, short and open circuits) at all of these connections was also required.
