9. Applications

This section covers the optional MIL-STD-704 and RTCA/DO-160 tests
that are available for the L-Series units. If your unit is not equipped with any
of these options, the Applications menu will not be visible. Only the options
that are installed in the L-Series unit connected to the PC will be shown on
the Applications menu. (refer to section 4.4.6).
In simulation mode (no instrument connected), all test options are
available and can be selected from the Applications menu.

9.1 MIL-STD-704

The MIL-STD-704 test option provides a large set of standard tests
designed to verify compliance to the MIL-STD-704 standard. Selecting this
menu item will provide a dialog box with a set of option boxes allowing the
user to choose all tests or any subset of the entire test suite.
Once a selection has been made, the user can start test execution by
clicking on the Start button in the Test Execution section of the window.
Once a test is in progress, the MIL-STD-704 window can be closed to re-
enable the measurement window. As long as the MIL-STD-704 window
remains open however, all other tasks, including measurements and data
logging, are suspended.
WARNING
through the IEEE-488 interface. The only indication that a test is finished is
the LCD screen on the front panel of the unit.
