Table 3-6: -160 Option i/iX Test Coverage, 230VAC and 14VDC
Note that the iX Series does not support 800 Hz testing at more than 150Vrms. Consequently, all
230V nominal tests for A(NF) and A(WF) categories are not supported. Some A(CF) tests requiring
more than 300V output are also unavailable due to hardware limitations of the iX Series power
source.

Specific Test Limitations and Discrepancies
While every effort has been made to provide comprehensive coverage of the RTCA/DO-160 tests,
some limitations apply, largely due to hardware limitations of the iX power source such as available
programming resolution or rounding. The following table lists specific implementation issues by test
number. The deviation from the standard requirement is shown in the “Actual setting” column. The
reason for the deviation is shown in the last column.
