6 Avionics Software
1 Introduction
This manual contains information on the function and use of the various avionics software packages
available for multiple California Instruments power sources.
1.1 General Description
California Instruments offers many different software packages to aid in the testing of EUTs to comply
with certain military and commercial specifications. The software has been designed to be intuitive,
user friendly, and completely customizable to provide maximum flexibility in testing options. The
software test parameters are data file driven, so the user can modify any of the tests performed to
better suit their needs. This means that if there is a revision change to a specification, the user can
make the necessary changes without waiting for an updated version of software to be released.
Each software package has a report generation feature that creates Microsoft Word format reports
including test parameters, various pass/fail criteria, current harmonics tables, current harmonics bar
graphs, and output waveforms.
This manual is intended to accompany the user manual of the power source being used. Please refer
to the appropriate user manual for information on general use and operation of the power source.
1.2 Manual organization and format
All user documentation for California Instruments power sources is provided on CDROM in electronic
format. (Adobe Portable Document Format) The required Adobe PDF viewer is supplied on the same
CDROM. This manual may be printed for personal use if a hardcopy is desired. To request a
hardcopy from California Instruments, contact customer service at
[email protected] . There will be
an additional charge for printed manuals.
All of the avionics test packages are based on the same general software layout and operation. This
manual contains sections on how to use the basic functions of all of the avionics options, followed by
sections detailing the specific differences for each option. No matter which option was purchased,
please read Section 2 first, and then read the subsequent section(s) that pertain to your specific
option(s).
Note: Some avionics options are firmware based. For information on these options, please refer to
the user manual for your power source.
