Avionics Test Equipment Parts Lookup

Avionics test equipment parts primarily involves analog, bus, and digital instrument testing. This instrumentation is used to assess single function-specific or complete diagnostics test requirements on a number of avionics systems. Test equipment might integrate a device interface board (DIB) to manage diagnostic tests for digital integrated circuits (DICs), analog circuits, and others. While some testing is done during maintenance, repair, and overhaul (MRO), portable test equipment is preferred for on-platform testing. RLC meters, data bus analyzers, universal static test adapters, altimeter test sets, and pitot static test sets are all common avionics equipment used on an aircraft.

Most electrical testing encompasses open test, short test, functional test, high voltage test, component test, insulation test, and others. Electrical tests are utilized to measure the array of components and functionality needed to ensure a capable circuitry network. This includes current and voltage transmission, switches, relays, multiplexers, transistors, and electrical connectors. Circuitry functionality is also tested for a number of electrical values based on continuity and transmission. These values include current, capacitance, impedance, inductance, resistance, and voltage.

Standards
Avionics test equipment parts are primarily standardized by the institute of electrical and electronics engineers (IEEE). They set specifications 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. Specifications for avionics testing is also dependent upon the legacy platform or technology involved, as all test systems are built to serve assigned systems.
