8.1 RTCA/DO-160 Option

The RTCA/DO-160 Option is made up of both firmware that resides in the power source and the
CSWGui Windows application program. The firmware covers revision D, and the GUI 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 GUI program. The
Revision E tests can only be operated through the GUI 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.
For information regarding the operation of the DO160 revision E tests with the CSWGui, please
refer to the Avionics Software Manual (CI part no. 4994-971 included on CDROM). Note that
future updates of the CSWGui may include overlapping coverage for revision D in the software
as the CSWGui program is designed to support all revisions. For now, revision D has no
associated data files in the CSWGui but does have its own unique interface control screen.
