9.1 RTCA/DO-160 Option

The RTCA/DO-160 Option is made up of both firmware that resides in the power source and the
CIGui32 Windows application program. The firmware covers revision D, and the CIGui32 covers
revision E.
The user interface for each implementation is different however. The revision D tests can be
operated directly from the power source‟s front panel or through the supplied CIGui32 program.
The Revision E tests can only be operated through the Cigui32 windows software. Thus, for Rev
E use, a Windows PC and interface is required.
Section 9.1.1 covers operation of the firmware based revision D tests. Section 9.1.2 covers
operation of the revision E test. Note that future updates of the CIGui32 may include overlapping
coverage for revision D in the software as the CIGui32 program is designed to support all
revisions. For now, revision D has no associated data files in the CIGui32.

The RTCA/DO-160D option is capable of performing all sections of RTCA/DO-160D, Section 16
and EUROCAE-14D / RTCA DO160D, Section 16 for the AC Source signal. A selection is made
available to specify the type of standard, and groups.
Throughout this document, Groups 1 through 3 will be used to refer to EUROCAE-14D standard.
