2   SYSTEM OVERVIEW

The NXT Transponder Acceptance Test is a fully automated set of tests that is performed using the
ACSS Transponder Environmental Stress Screening (ESS) Station (P/N 9001080-001). There are two
primary types of software utilized. The first type of software is Hardware Test Software (HTS), which is
loaded into FLASH memory of the UUT and executes within the UUT’s SDRAM. The second type of
software is the End Item Test (EIT) and ESS station program that executes on the station PC.

The HTS program receives high level commands from the station programs via an RS-232 interface. It
executes commands and returns a response. The responses returned from HTS may range from
acknowledgement of receipt of a command to returning data and/or status of a test that was performed by
the embedded software.

The EIT and ESS station program is comprised of a Test Executive, Instrument Drivers, and Test
Functions. The Test Executive provides an operator interface, directs test sequencing, determines
pass/fail status and generates test reports. The Instrument Drivers communicate with and control the ESS
station test equipment via PXI/PCI, IEEE488, and USB interfaces. The Test Functions perform the
individual tests that comprise a NXT Transponder Acceptance Test and are described in:

Note 1: A “major” repair is any repair operation that involves the replacement of an entire CCA. After a
major repair, the UUT is returned to the calibration at room temperature step of the manufacturing flow
and resumes from that point.

Note 2: A “minor” repair is defined as a repair operation involving the unsoldering or replacement of any
electrical components short of replacing an entire CCA, as well as any changes in UUT hardware or
software calibration. If a “minor” repair is completed after UUT ESS testing, perform an ESS short profile
as described in NXT Transponder Environmental Stress Screening (ESS), document number 8010119-
001, and continue with the production flow after UUT ESS testing. Repeat an ESS short profile after each
minor repair until the UUT passes regression testing. Once the UUT passes, product flow resumes.

Note 3: If there is a “minor” RF repair after Final End Item Test, complete an ESS short profile and
resume product flow.

5.1       Manufacturing Flow

5.1.1        Program Processor CCA with Initial Test Configuration and HTS Software

Prior to installing the Processor CCA in the UUT, program the initial test and HTS software per NXT-600
Transponder Software Configuration File, part number 9006054-001, or NXT-800 Transponder Software
Configuration File, part number 9008047-001. For Processor CCA loading instructions, refer to Flash
Programming Procedures for NXT Transponder Processor Assembly (TPA), document number 9006056-
001.

5.1.2        UUT Calibration

The UUT must be calibrated for the temperatures it is tested over prior to performing those tests. During
this ATP the UUT is tested at Room Temperature, about 22°C, at Cold Temperature, about -40°C, and at
Hot Temperature, about 70°C. The calibration can be run any time prior to the test using the following
test sequences:

      -     NXTCal_Room.seq
      -     NXTCal_Cold.seq
      -     NXTCal_Hot.seq

In the case of manual calibration of the UUT, follow the calibration steps in Appendix E of the NXT-600 or
NXT-800 TRD, document numbers 8010118-001, and 8010008-001 respectively.

If calibration of the UUT is unsuccessful, troubleshoot failures and re-run calibration of UUT.

All result files and calibration data is saved on the network drive.

Typically the UUT will be calibrated automatically at the beginning of the current temperature cycle by
selecting “RUN” for the “Calibration” option in the “Test Parameters” section of the “Test Information”
panel at the beginning of the test software execution. The operator can also select “Yes” for the
“Calibration Only” option in the “Test Parameters” to run just the calibration sequence skipping the actual
test sequence. The following is an explanation of what the technician is to expect when operating the Test
Station to Calibrate a UUT.

See Section 5.1.3.1 for ESS Test/Calibration/Temperature/Vibration Profiles.

5. Enter the Common Parameters first. This includes Employee Number and the Temp/Vibe Profile.
   It will be possible to test different part numbers at the same time, however there will be only One
   Tem/Vibe Profile for up to Three LRUs.
6. Select and Part Number from the drop-down list, then enter the Serial Number of the UUT
   installed in the specified Slot. Alternatively, place the cursor in the Serial Number block and use
   the Scanner on the 2-D icon to enter the Part Number and Serial Number.
            NOTE: After scanning the LRU in Slot One, the software will automatically move the
            cursor to Slot 2 Serial Number where you will be able to immediately scan Slot Two’s
            Part and Serial Number. Slot Three will then be activated for the nest LRU scan.
    Enter the appropriate Test Type, where:
    TestType is            PreTest     (Preliminary End Item Test, including Room Temp
                                       Calibration)
                           ESS         (Environmental Stress Screening Test, including Hot and
                                       Cold Calibration)
                           FinalTest    (Final End Item Test, No Calibration Performed)
                           FULL        (Full ESS Test, including Room Temp Calibration and test)
                           FinalConfig (Change SN, Load Ops SW, and Verify)
7. Switches in the Test Parameters will be set automatically for the typical test scenario. However,
   these switches may be modified for custom test profiles, which allow the operator to bypass or
   force the execution of various pieces of the test program based on where the UUT is in the
   Manufacturing Process. The option to load HTS and the ability to select Manufacturing or Field
   Test Limits are also available on the switch panel. If the switch is grayed-out, the option is
   unavailable, such as selecting an AC Input Power Type for a 9006000-55 LRU.
8. Note: The Operator can stop testing in individual Slots, or abort all ESS test runs by left clicking
   the “Stop” or “Terminate All” or “Abort All” Buttons. Terminate All will provide an orderly shutdown
   of the Test Station; if you Abort All, the software shuts down where it is and can leave power
   connected to the UUTs.

    Typically, the UUT is calibrated and tested at room temperature prior to arriving at the ESS Test
    Station. When the UUT reaches the ESS Test Station, the Long Profile is run: the UUT is
    calibrated at Cold and Hot temperatures and tested according to specifications in the Long Profile
    segment definitions listed in Part Number 9001937: NXT Transponder Temp/Vibe Profiles. Use
    the Short Profile without calibration to retest the UUT after minor repairs. You would retest using
    the Short Profile with calibration if an RF component was replaced. Check with the Manufacturing
    Manager to determine which profile parameters should be run.

9. Left click the “OK” buttons on each Slot to begin testing. The Running GUI is shown in Figure 5.5.
