Anticipated Design Challenges/Risk
Difficulty integrating software blocks
Creating user-friendly interface that is easily interpreted
UUT safety and control systems Stability of amplifier signal Debugging of code
SD II Project Plan
Automated Tests Correlation Study Corrective Actions MKS onsite verifications
User input state:Input fields will be displayed for user
Did user save file with unique
name?
File name state:User will select the input file to test the
unit
Did user select a file?
Display parameters:
Display input file parameters for
user
Are these parameters
acceptable to the user?
Pre-Test:Parse input file into format for
LabVIEW processing
YES
NODEFAULT

YESYES
Signal Generator Frequency Flow
Read and compare input
frequency
Is frequency in range?
Set signal generator frequency
Is there an output
amplitude present?
Set signal generator amplitude
FROM FILE INPUT NO
YES
NO
YES
GO TO LOAD SIMULATOR STATE
Communications with Load Simulator
Call load simulator software
Has load simulator data
been recorded?
Wait and scan for software to complete
FROM SIG GEN FREQUENCY
NO
YES
GO TO POWER SUPPLY
Power Supply Handling
Read and compare voltage and current level
Are levels in acceptable
ranges
Set power supply voltage and
current
Did output settle?
Wait until output settles
FROM FILE INPUT AND LOAD SIMULATOR
NO
YES
NO
YES
GO TO LOAD SIMULATOR STATE
Determine safe level to cut back to and set variables
Signal Generator Amplitude Handling
Read and compare input
amplitude
Is amplitude in range?
Set signal generator amplitude
FROM FILE INPUT AND POWER SUPPLY
NO
YES
GO TO LOAD SIMULATOR STATE
Cost – Benefit Analysis Assumptions
For manual testing a technician requires 3 days for completion
Technician gets paid $15/hour. Automated program can complete task in 24 hours with 1
hour set up. ($15)*(8hrs/day)*(3 days) = $360 ($15)*(1hr) = $15 A cost difference of $345 per test 3 tests * $360 = $1080 3 tests can be completed with the automatic test
system in the same time that 1 test can be completed manually
