A MATHEMATICAL TECHNIQUE FOR AUTOMATIC FAULT ISOLATION IN A COMPLEX SYSTEM.

Abstract

The application is described of a mathematical technique which develops the construction of a recogniition matrix which, when pre-multiplied by a vector whose components represent selected test measurements, yields another vector whose compo nents identify the system element which is out of tolerance. This fault isolation process is applicable to any equipment level, proceeds to the next lower level, and thus to the piece part. Because of the simpplicity of the arith metic operations to be performed, the technique can be readily programmed for any general-purpose digital computer. (Author)
