| | | The Aeroflex IRIS® 2000 is a modular general purpose Automatic Test Equipment (ATE) system capable of testing a wide variety of avionics Line Replaceable Units (LRU). The IRIS® 2000 is the only ATE that combines the testing of RF, analog and digital LRU's in one ATE system. The basic configuration of this station consists of two or three equipment towers containing measurement and stimulus resources. Two wing cabinets provide additional work surface area, storage space for cables and accessories, and additional room for measurement and stimulus resources. The system layout gives easy and convenient access to all equipment during use as well as for maintenance. In addition, space is available for specific LRU hardware and other future expansions. The ATE design incorporates current state-of-the-art commercial off-the-shelf resources as well as Aeroflex designed equipment and software. This promotes industry standard compatibility and simple equipment maintenance. The avionics LRU to be tested is connected to a Test Unit Adapter (TUA), which in turn connects to the front of the IRIS® 2000 ATE at the Programmable Interface Unit. The modular design makes it very easy to expand the system with additional measurement and stimulus resources required to test future avionics and/or adapt the IRIS® 2000 system to test avionics installed in new aircraft. | | The test software development process is in accordance with ARINC 625-1 specifications. THOR™ Test Executive THOR™, the Aeroflex test software development and operating environment, is a powerful Windows NT™ and LabWindows® CVI based graphical user interface (GUI) developed to add features for ease of use by programmers and operators alike. Its point and click feature allows for ease of LRU testing, intuitive test control usage, and datalogging for identification and tracking of rogue units.
