What is Avionics Test Suite?

The aerospace & defence scientists and engineers working on the design, development and validation of avionics systems or sub systems (Line Replaceable Unit – LRUs) face a challenge of testing them as all physical components may not be available for testing purpose. Also, such testing is costly and time consuming. Avionics Test Suite is a platform empowering them to perform the tests in simulated environment, testing various commonly used Avionics bus interfaces.

About CAPture Avionics Test Suite

CAPture Avionics Test Suite is an industry recognized amalgamation of hardware and software that offers Simulation, Acquisition, Monitoring, Logging and Analysis of multiple Avionic protocols. It is capable of Simulating different LRUs and its interfaces, run the pre-defined sequence of tests, display the simulated and acquired values with different view options and analyse the logged test data file. It is a COTS state of the art technology available in both windows and real time environments. Ease of using the system and high precision makes it the most sort after product aiding the aerospace industry.
