Abstract
A PORTABLE AUTOMATIC DIGITAL TEST SET HAS BEEN DESIGNED FOR PART OF THE MINUTEMAN GROUND ELECTRONIC SYSTEM. THE TEST SET WITH CONVENTIONAL SOLID STATE PRINTED CIRCUIT CONSTRUCTION WOULD WEIGH OVER 90 LBS. AND OCCUPY 5 CUBIC FEET OF SPACE. USING INTEGRATED CIRCUITS, A VOLUME REDUCTION OF 30 TIMES AND A WEIGHT REDUCTION OF 6 TIMES HAS BEEN ACHIEVED. THIS REDUCTION ALLOWS THE TEST SET TO BE PLUGGED DIRECTLY INTO A RACK CONNECTOR WITHOUT CABLES AND FACILITATES TESTING IN PREMIUM SPACE ENVIRONMENTS.
