VALIDATION OF THEORETICAL AUTOMATIC CHECKOUT TECHNIQUES.
Abstract
Experimental and theoretical studies were made for the validation of theoretical automatic checkout techniques. After a discussion of the state of art, detailed validation studies are described for three specific fault isolation techniques: the UNIVAC Key Element Search, the RCA-Test Point Algorithm Technique, and the University of Pennsylvania Statistical Estimation Fault Isolation Procedure. The extent to which such techniques can be applied to practical electronic circuits is determined; it is indicated that the procedure embodying estimation of component parameter values has most potential value as a general purpose fault isolation technique. Thorough discussions are presented of the experimental equipment designed and assembled, the FORTRAN programs written for the IBM-7094, and the PLACE programs written for the Bendix AN/GJQ-9 as required in the detailed validation studies. Additional contributions are presented concerning fault isolation of control systems as well as a variety of electronic systems with suggestions as to future Air Force efforts in the automatic checkout field.
