In the ATP mode, either a single LRU or a full system test may be performed.
In the Hot Mock-up (HMU) mode, the MATE generates all of the aircraft avionics
and other systems signals that interface with the ACDS in the aircraft. It also
monitors the signals from the ACDS to the aircraft avionics and analyses the data.
This mode, with its impressive debug and process control capabilities, sets the
MATE as a Software Development Station (SDS).
For easy self-test and
maintenance, the MATE runs internal End-to-End tests and monitors the voltage
in various junctions within the system.
The MATE Man-Machine Interface
(MMI) is designed for easy operation.
The MATE is composed of state of
the art technologies. Due to its modularity it has future growth capabilities
for ACDS system extension. |
