<p> The Serial Output Controller is one of the component boards of a Marine Navigation System. Litton Systems (Canada) Limited required the development of a test package for this board to be implemented on the DIGIPACT test station. This report introduc.es the subject of electronic component board testing with an overview of the test equipment and underlying philosophies used by Litton Systems for fault detection and fault diagnosis. The four stages of the test package development process, test plan definition, programming, validation and evaluation are described. The architecture of the DIGIPACT test system is presented as background information. </p> / Thesis / Master of Engineering (MEngr)

The ANPT (Air Navigation Procedures Trainer) is a navigation simulator being developed by Litton Systems (Canada) Limited. The ANPT design is based on the use of two ECLIPSE S/200 minicomputers to supply the background monitoring necessary for the system. This reports deals with the implementation of the software for the processor that will control the navigation simulation hardware of the ANPT. Two major sections of the implementation are covered: the organization phase which details the modules needed to control the hardware and to communicate with the other processor, and the integration phase in which the various modules are linked together with each other and with the hardware in order to obtain a cycling system. The problems that could be encountered during system integration will be discussed along with possible solutions to these problems. / Thesis / Master of Engineering (ME)
