Abstract

The ability to rapidly create and modify fuel accessory Test Program Set (TPS) procedures interactively at the Test Station is a critical feature of the AFATS Test System at Kelly Air Force Base, Texas. This capability is provided through a TPS Command File Generator (CFG) allowing operators or technicians to quickly and easily produce TPS procedures. By eliminating the interface to software programs, compilers, and detailed computer code the development cycle is vastly reduced. The skills required to produce the TPS are thus provided to the experienced UUT personnel. This paper describes the TPS CFG that has been implemented on Test Stations in the Advanced Fuel Accessories Test System (AFATS) at Kelly Air Force Base, Texas
