Aerospace Automatic Test Equipment Parts Catalog

Automatic or automated test equipment refers to devices which are used for testing hardware and/or software in production or postproduction. Test equipment functionality is programmed centrally or locally; CAD files, digital data files, or software are often used. The device being tested is referred to as the unit under test (UUT). Most automated test equipment involves a hub, or host computer and software that acts as a user interface and directs testing processes. Testing is often done during maintenance, repair, and overhaul (MRO); on-platform diagnostics testing is also prevalently conducted during standard aircraft operation and maintenance checks. Prevalent automatic test systems and equipment include versatile depot automatic test stations (VDATS), consolidated automated support systems (CASS), and VXI-, PXI-, LXI-based solutions.

Standards
Automatic Testing Equipment is primarily standardized by the institute of electrical and electronics engineers (IEEE). They set criteria for digital test interchange format (DTIF), faulted circuit indicators, signal and test definition (STD) standards, a broad-based environment for test (ABBET) standards, and the like. The legacy platform or technology of the UUT designates the test systems that can be utilized.
