Mate Support Software Analysis
Abstract:
This reprot describes a research study, the objective of which was to analyze and document those elements of support software used on the Digital Avionics Information System DAIS Program which could satisfy the support software requirements of the Modular Automatic Test Equipment MATE Project. Since many of the objectives of the MATE Program are closely aligned with those of DAIS, it was felt that some of the software items and standards developed for DAIS could be applicable to the MATE Program. The first sections of this report present an overview of the three areas of ATE software ATE software of current- day systems, additional ATE software requirements beyond those satisfied with current-day ATE software, and MATE-unique software requirements. Using these as a basis for comparison the DAIS software was analyzed for applicability to the MATE system. The results of this analysis are presented in the final sections. Author
