SECTION 11 TEST PROFILES
11.1 INTRODUCTION
If a particular test profile (a set of control points, each one identified by Altitude, Airspeed,
Altitude Rate and Airspeed Rate, or Ps, Qc/Pt, Ps Rate and Qc/Pt Rate, and optional AoA)
must be performed frequently (for example, when required by a particular UUT test
specification), the equipment can be easily programmed to memorize such a profile. Then,
when it is required again, it can be selected to carry out the test automatically.
During the automatic test execution, the equipment will go through all the programmed test
points. When the MPS49 has reached and stabilized each step, if the stabilization time is
not zero, it prompts the Operator for the readings of the UUTs.
The MPS49 can display and memorize the results of a test profile.
The function can be enabled by entering the Main Menu (
SHIFT
+ 3) and selecting
“Functions” and then “Profiles”.
Each profile also contains a set of limiting values and the selection of measure units. For
this reason, test profiles can also be used to save and organize different sets of limiting
values.
11.1.1 PROFILES AND PROFILE RESULTS
A test profile contains a sequence of test points, that the MPS49 follows when the profile is
run. Each test point contains the following data:
•
altitude/Ps;
•
altitude/Ps rate;
•
upper and lower tolerance for the UUT readings of altitude/Ps;
•
airspeed/Qc/Pt;
•
airspeed/Qc/Pt rate;
•
upper and lower tolerance for the UUT readings of airspeed/Qc;
•
optional:
◦
AoA;
◦
AoA rate;
•
stabilization time;
•
optional information about a leak test:
◦
leak test units (aeronautical or pressure units)
◦
additional stabilization time;
◦
leak measurement time;
◦
maximum leak allowed for the altitude/Ps;
◦
maximum leak allowed for the airspeed/Pt.
The tolerance values are used to check if the UUT readings are acceptable or not.
The summary of the results of all set-points is called “profile result”. The MPS49 supports
up to 3 UUTs. That is: 3 altitude/Ps, 3 airspeed/Qc and 3 Mach number readings for each
profile step (e.g. Captain, First Officer, Standby).
