KISSIMMEE, Fla., 12 Sept. 2007. Managers of the U.S. Air Force Airborne Warning and Control System (AWACS) needed a test system for mission-critical boards aboard the AWACS aircraft. They found their solution in the PinPoint II test system from DiagnoSYS Systems Inc. in Kissimmee, Fla.
AWACS used the PinPoint II to help with dedicated legacy automated test systems where current repair technology has been identified as 'at risk' for mission-critical boards. Some legacy test systems themselves are considered at risk and unsupportable as manufacturing sources are diminished.
The PinPoint II provides diagnostic and test solution for in-circuit functional tests of analog and digital components, VI analysis, boundary scan, PXI integration, and schematic reverse engineering on the same test platform.
AWACS Support Equipment Program Manager Dennis Robichaud recognized DiagnoSYS Systems as a valued partner in a cost-avoidance program that has exceeded $12 million over the past few years, DiagnoSYS officials say.
Implementing the DiagnoSYS PinPoint II test system has succeeded beyond initial estimates of cost avoidance and time requirements to re-host test program sets (TPS) from dedicated legacy systems, company officials say.
