AAC helps you achieve maximum testing effectiveness in the minimum time possible. With our Automated Test System Studio, we integrate test equipment, specialized hardware, a robust software environment, and documentation required for effective testing. And unlike most ATS builders, we seek to incorporate operator ergonomics into the design. AAC supports the entire Automated Testing Lifecycle, from solution design and development through fielding and training.

Automated Test Equipment (ATE) Platforms
Slider
AAC has deep experience in designing, assembling, and integrating sophisticated ATS’s and test program sets. We are experienced in the use of industry’s various ATE Platforms such as:
• PCI eXtensions for instrumentation (PXI)
• VME eXtensions for instrumentation (VXI)
• Conventional rack and stack configurations
Each has its advantages, and our versatility with their use enables us to build the most suitable and most cost-effective test configuration possible.
We custom program our ATS with languages that are best suited for our client’s needs and budget. We custom design specialized test hardware and backplanes for signal routing as required.
We maintain compatibility with many hardware platforms, using commercial off the shelf (COTS) and/or custom hardware test interfaces.

Robust Software Environment
Comprehensive automated testing can only be achieved utilizing a robust and modern software environment. AAC leverages both conventional languages (C, C++, Basic) and graphical languages (LabVIEW, LabWindows/CVI) to their maximum advantage to meet customer requirements. Our custom-designed Test Executive is the operator’s main interface to the test station. It enables comprehensive and selective testing, scheduled and managed through a single user interface.
Test Documentation
Accurate and thorough documentation is paramount. AAC provides written test procedures and detailed mechanical and electrical drawings to document the design and provide a foundation for modifications due to evolving requirements. We use flexible CAD software for electrical and mechanical design drawings. AAC is ISO-9000 certified and we use industry standard practices, as defined in MIL-STD-498 for documentation.
AAC’s Test Executive
AAC’s Custom Designed Test Executive enables Flexible Scheduling, Instant Status, and complete documentation of the test.
