The Portable ATE1001 and the 19" 3U Rack Mounted ATE1002 Quad-Mode FTR Test Sets provide the ability to test and certify all parameters of the FTR, generate RF signals for testing, communicate with a Flight Termination Receiver (FTR) in order to obtain the FTR status and configuration information. The FTRTS supports all four FTS protocols; IRIG, High Alphabet, EFTS and FSK. Parameters for all four modes can be varied for limit testing, with test sequences capable of being automated and/or controlled remotely. The user interaction to the FTRTS is via a Graphic User Interface on a 5.7-inch sunlight readable touch screen display. The portable version of the FTRTS includes a rechargeable battery, providing up to eight (8) hours of operation on a charge for flight line use.

The ATE1001 / ATE1002 FTR Test Sets are capable of the following:

Generating Commands
  • IRIG Commands, Pilot, and Tones
  • High Alphabet Commands and Pilot
  • EFTS Messages
  • FSK Protocols
  • External baseband input for special modulation
  • Frame pulse output for timing measurement
Reading and displaying FTR status
  • SSTO (Carrier) level
  • RSTO (EFTS state) or similar analog telemetry
  • Up to 6 Discrete FTR command outputs
  • EFTS FTR serial status information
  • EFTS FTR serial User bits
