FROM THE e RELIABILITY E EXPERTS The Omnicon Group develops builds and supplies test equipment for defense and commercial projects Since our founding in 1984 we have supplied test equipment for product development verification manufacturing and maintenance Our equipment ranges from relatively simple special purpose desk top units to multi rack general purpose units that are configured solely by interface wiring and software All Omnicon test equipment is easy to use modular and built largely from COTS components All test equipment includes extensive self test capabilities and full documentation The Reliability Experts Unlike most equipment suppliers Omnicon is a specialist in reliability maintainability and safety engineering for mission critical safety critical and revenue critical systems This experience defines our culture which means we understand that successful development of a product depends heavily on equipment that can thoroughly and reliably test it A General Purpose System Designed for Avionics The general purpose avionics test equipment illustrated below and on the next page is designed to exchange ARINC 429 and AFDX traffic under software controlled configuration Discrete inputs and outputs and other signal types are easily handled The system is designed for expansion to accom modate any realistic number and types of signals f ee a Hiha AEDE ia immo
