EVALUATION OF AN EXPERIMENTAL FAULT LOCATION DEVICE: II. FAULT LOCATION AND ISOLATION BY EXPERIENCED ELECTRONICS TECHNICIANS.
Abstract
This report presents the results of the second of two evaluative studies on a maintenance job-aid for the AN/URC-32 transceiver. This job-aid, named the XFL, is a small, circular, plastic device which incorporates circuit-front panel relationships essential for fault localization. It is used by checking out several functions of the AN/URC-32, noting symptoms of malfunction, entering these symptoms into the XFL, and looking up the possible malfunctions in an accompanying manual. The study consisted of performance measures on an experimental group which used the XFL device and two control groups which did not use the device. The results clearly show that the group using the XFL is more successful than the control groups in isolating faulty components. (Author)
