Abstract

Support Equipment Recommendation data consolidates the pertinent information related to existing or new support/test equipment or training material, e.g., physical characteristics, calibration requirements, and test parameters. This information also serves as identification of hardware and software elements required to conduct off-line tests.

Data are structured to identify the Unit under Test (UUT) and those hardware and software elements required to test the UUT with off-line support/test equipment. The unique combination of these elements required for a specific UUT and support/test equipment configuration is a Test Program Set (TPS). In addition to defining the TPS elements, this information provides the configuration identification of the UUT (i.e., the UUT and the support/test equipment to be used in the test). This information is established for each UUT which has a requirement to be tested by the support/test equipment documented.

Additionally, Calibration and Measurement Requirement Summary information is captured.
