Abstract:A certain helicopter’s relay boxes contain a large number of relays and most of the relays don’t use independent power supply. As a consequence, it is inconvenient to do tests and experiments manually. To overcome this, a new automatic test device is designed, which integrates multiple mature and advanced techniques, including software techniques and hardware techniques. Using this new test device, logical functions of each unit of the relay boxes can be accurately tested and faults can be precisely located.
