Abstract :
A MATE compliant portable test unit that is based on the VME and VXI system architectures is presented. This standalone test set (SATS) is the central computer of the Bendix developed avionics test system for the A-7 Corsair. It has been designed with the flexibility to allow application-specific configurations. The incorporation of artificial-intelligence diagnostics and the ability to present online technical documentation enhances the SATSs´ ability to operate in future test scenarios
