The first factor considered has to do with the communication between the ES and the UUT (unit under test) expert and between the ES and the test technician. The authors discuss the importance of embedding in the expert system basic understanding of electronic terms and universal knowledge bases, i.e. knowledge which is not unique to a specific UUT. The second factor considered has to do with the communication between the ES and the ATE (automatic test equipment). It is claimed that artificial intelligence software will not penetrate the real-world test industry, unless it offers very smooth interfaces with test instrumentation and ATE. Several specific requirements are discussed. This work is based on extensive experience in introducing the AITEST expert system for electronic troubleshooting and service management to a wide variety of fields; including aerospace and military, automotive, computers and peripherals, communication and general instrumentation.<<ETX>>","PeriodicalId":321804,"journal":{"name":"IEEE Automatic Testing Conference.The Systems Readiness Technology Conference.

Gunning","doi":"10.1109/AUTEST.1989.81147","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.1109/AUTEST.1989.81147","url":null,"abstract":"The authors report results of ongoing research exploring the use of artificial neural networks (ANNs) for F-16 flight line diagnostics. ANNs hold the promise of solving difficult logistics problems such as multiple fault diagnosis, prognostication, changing configurations and environments, and inaccurate diagnosis attributable to incomplete and/or flawed rules. The authors tested three representative ANNs to see which type worked best for the problem considered. The authors chose back propagation (BPN) and counterpropagation (CPN) because they are considered to be two of the more promising pattern matching paradigms. The binary adaptive resonance theory I (ART1) was also chosen because it learns faster than CPN or BPN and has online adaptation (i.e. does not have to be totally retrained every time a new pattern is discovered). Online adaptation is a powerful attribute, allowing new associations to be immediately incorporated into the knowledge base on the flight line or wherever needed. The authors explain the advantages and drawbacks to each network tested and describe how they were trained using historical flight line data. Of the three ANNs examined, ART1 proved to be the most appropriate and was able to produce multiple-symptom-to-multiple-fault diagnoses.<<ETX>>","PeriodicalId":321804,"journal":{"name":"IEEE Automatic Testing Conference.The Systems Readiness Technology Conference.

Devices that require real-time responses were located in a subsystem controlled by a dedicated processor. A host computer communicates with the subsystem using a communications bus (referred to as the host bus). The hardware chosen to implement this design consisted of a VMEbus card rack (later a VXIbus card rack) containing a minimum of one single-board computer and an interface to the host bus. Software was implemented using a commercial real-time operating system kernel. The modular architecture enables users to configure the subsystem hardware and software components to satisfy requirements for their specific applications.<<ETX>>","PeriodicalId":321804,"journal":{"name":"IEEE Automatic Testing Conference.The Systems Readiness Technology Conference.

His solution involves the integration of VMEbus extension for instrumentation (VXI bus) technology and existing BIT (built-in-test) techniques. This integration produces a system-level BIT capable of utilizing integrated test station resources to keep the BIT hardware/firmware overhead to a minimum. In addition, data collected during system level BIT can be used to compensate for instrument drift and path loss, reducing the frequency of routine calibration and alignment of test station instruments.<<ETX>>","PeriodicalId":321804,"journal":{"name":"IEEE Automatic Testing Conference.The Systems Readiness Technology Conference.

A number of functional/parametric testing scenarios are discussed from the viewpoint of assessing diagnostic accuracy, functional/parametric test correlation, test data maturation, and testing throughput. It is concluded that the key to establishing an effective and cohesive functional/parametric testing strategy is diagnostic information management within the context of the concurrent engineering process. Diagnostic information management enables more effective RFI testing to be performed at all levels of test. Specifically, diagnostic information management is the key to effecting more efficient (i.e. faster test times) and accurate (i.e. fault isolation resolution) test program sets because it enables the test strategies to capture the best features of both functional and parametric testing and use them in a complementary manner.<<ETX>>","PeriodicalId":321804,"journal":{"name":"IEEE Automatic Testing Conference.The Systems Readiness Technology Conference.

They describe the investigation, present highlights of the evidence, and set forth the principal findings and recommendations, related them to testability where appropriate. Included is the definition of concurrent engineering developed during this study. Some benefits reported include 60% reduction in product development time, elimination of two thirds of the inspectors in one factory, and several-million-dollars annual savings in chemical and soldering processes. The methods and technologies of concurrent engineering are outlined and the process management ideas, the computer support, and the problem-solving techniques are considered. A conceptual framework is offered to describe the continuing research needed in this area.<<ETX>>","PeriodicalId":321804,"journal":{"name":"IEEE Automatic Testing Conference.The Systems Readiness Technology Conference.

The authors also describe the current status of device technology, design tools, and implementation techniques applicable to MMW BIT. It is noted that the advent of total MMW systems fabricated on a single monolithic substrate greatly increases the importance of testability and BIT.<<ETX>>","PeriodicalId":321804,"journal":{"name":"IEEE Automatic Testing Conference.The Systems Readiness Technology Conference.
