This has been driven by the need to reduce development and maintenance costs, and to try and achieve a commonality between test systems. The systems integrator then has the task of taking many different industry and de-facto standards, and seamlessly building them into the final system. This paper deals with the development of a Common Underlying Architecture (CUA) which forms the \"glue\" to interface between many different standards such as ATLAS and VXIplug&play. This provides an open development and run-time system where the customer can choose from several different software languages and operating systems, whilst maintaining a common operator interface, a degree of resilience to obsolescence and the capability to extend the use of the Test System. The concept and definition of a CUA is currently the subject of on-going studies within the UK MoD. Various packaging and mounting options are discussed which allow the system to be configured for the particular application from factory test through to rugged field deployable systems.","PeriodicalId":369132,"journal":{"name":"1997 IEEE Autotestcon Proceedings AUTOTESTCON '97.

This environment, known as Visual ATLAS, contains a revolutionary new approach to TPS development. The Visual ATLAS graphical programming environment provides an iconic representation of the ATLAS program now and structure. This includes test objects, variable declaration, loop/branch constructs procedures, module definition and more. Code reusability is supported via availability of an object library and software boilerplates. Because Visual ATLAS dramatically reduces the time required to develop ATLAS programs, users experience a substantial productivity gain. This results from ease of use, as well as simplified code maintenance and reuse. With Visual ATLAS, you build an ATLAS object framework instead of writing test programs. To specify program now, you build a now-chart like representation of the Test Program. This is an intuitive design environment for test technicians and engineers. This frees the programmer from working out the many syntactical details of conventional ATLAS programming. Objects are selected from a toolbox and are interconnected to other objects upon a sequence line to identify program now. This technique frees the programmer from the linear architecture of test-based ATLAS development.","PeriodicalId":369132,"journal":{"name":"1997 IEEE Autotestcon Proceedings AUTOTESTCON '97.

In our factory, we have created test software that is devoid of any knowledge of the instruments in our test set. Because of this, we can now choose whether we want a voltage measurement to be made by IEEE-488 Digital Multimeter (DMM) or VXI Oscilloscope instruments or even a hand-held DMM just prior to run-time. When an instrument fails or becomes obsolete, we can execute our test software on different testers or with different instrument types without impacting the test software. We can change the instruments in our Multiple Missile Factory standard test set without affecting the several configurations of test software that are controlled by separate organizations. One test suite, developed using the framework on a test set comprised of IEEE-488 instruments, was effortlessly moved to the VXI-based standard test set. In addition to the hardware independence, the framework supports a highly abstract test language that has allowed us to create generalized test methods that have greatly eased our effort to reuse test algorithms among our programs.","PeriodicalId":369132,"journal":{"name":"1997 IEEE Autotestcon Proceedings AUTOTESTCON '97.

Affordable Readiness is the primary means by which the Navy will reduce these costs to create savings for investments in recapitalization and modernization of operational capability necessary to perform our mission. Affordable readiness is a business practice with four interrelated elements: flexible sustainment; sustained maintenance planning; total cost of ownership; and rightsourcing. Our challenge in the Automatic Test Systems (ATS) community is to engage in this process to provide a capability such that when avionics reliability requires it, intermediate level support is an effective and affordable support solution. We must, however, re-engineer our business processes to support affordable readiness in the Navy to ensure the products we provide meet our customers requirements. This paper will translate the business processes of acquiring and managing automatic test equipment (ATE) and test program sets (TPSs) into the four elements of affordable readiness and a cohesive vision of the future, while highlighting the opportunities end challenges confronting Government managers and our industry partners.","PeriodicalId":369132,"journal":{"name":"1997 IEEE Autotestcon Proceedings AUTOTESTCON '97.

More and more systems are being developed that require multiple chassis with dozens of instruments, each of which may perform a distinct yet important function to the system. This can place a tremendous burden on the system controller, especially if this same controller has to perform intensive graphic display updates, writes to the hard disk, printing functions, or other I/O Tasks. Modern computers in general, and PC-based computers in particular, have advanced to the point where some of this burden can be overcome by the sheer power of the processor. However, there are still many systems that would benefit from using a multi-computer approach. This paper details the multi-computer approach used in the VXIbased system that CACI developed for the Air Force. The system, the Engine Test/Trim Automated System II (ETTAS II) is designed to test all Air Force jet engines. The paper discusses how to integrate multiple computers in a VXI-based system, including discussions on: setting up the computers, selecting register-based versus message-based computers, setting up and using shared-memory, defining and separating tasks for each computer. The shared memory discussion talks about different ways to structure the shared memory, including setting up a system-level \"Current-Value Table\" (CVT) for all instruments, as well as how other devices, including another computer can access the shared memory space. The paper shows how Commercial Off-the-Shelf(COTS) software products NI-VXI LabVIEW; and NI-VISA (National Instruments) can be used to satisfy all these requirements. The paper also shows how the multi-computer approach can be cost-effective in many cases.","PeriodicalId":369132,"journal":{"name":"1997 IEEE Autotestcon Proceedings AUTOTESTCON '97.

The engine Test/Trim automated system (ETTAS) is used to accomplish field level testing. The pacer comet III (PC III) is used to perform depot level testing, and the automated ground engine test set (AGETS) is used for field level testing of F-100 engines. Each of these test systems is comprised of technologies which vary significantly in age and capability the USAF would prefer to have a single engine test system capable of meeting the requirements of all three of the existing test systems. The engine Test/Trim automated system II (ETTAS II) was designed to replace the existing ETTAS test system for the USAF. One of the design goals for ETTAS II was to provide an upgrade path which would allow the capabilities of the remaining two engine test systems to be incorporated. This paper describes the existing capabilities of ETTAS II, and details how the added requirements of the AGETS and PC III are accommodated. The requirements of the AGETS and PC III include automatic closed loop engine control and vibration signal acquisition and analysis. Additional switching capability, expanded discrete I/O, and a frequency source will also be added to the ETTAS II. The ETTAS II is comprised of commercial off the Shelf(COTS) hardware, and the additional capability added to the ETTAS II will be integrated using COTS equipment the ETTAS II was designed with enough \"horsepower\" to allow the incorporation of these additional functions without having and adverse impact on system performance.","PeriodicalId":369132,"journal":{"name":"1997 IEEE Autotestcon Proceedings AUTOTESTCON '97.
