The Design and Realization of Airborne Electrical Equipments’ Online Test System in the Environments of Mechanics

Abstract

Current OTS (Online Test System, OTS) of airborne electrical equipments in the environments of mechanics is only able to test statically but dynamically. To solve the problem, a new kind of dynamic test system based on PXI bus is designed. In the design, modular instrument resources that used in the third generation of ATE (Auto Test System, ATE) commonly is adopted to prove the system’s reusability, extensibility and standard ability, digital signal acquisition is replaced with analog signal acquisition to realize dynamic test, support from the method of process monitoring is drew to get the capability to detect the reversible failure in UUT (Unit Under Test, UTT), VC++ language is used as the software development tool to control the system and record test data. In the special mechanics environment such as centrifuge, drawing lessons from the experience of the new concept dynamic test, the system architecture of remote control acquisition is used to prove the stability and efficiency of the test system greatly. The experimental result shows that the system runs well and has more advantages such as high efficiency of auto-test and reliability of failure diagnosis results, meeting new demand of the airborne electrical equipments’ online test in the environments of mechanics.
