9.6 Option –704: MilStd704 Tests
The MIL704 option is made up of both firmware that resides in the power source
and the Virtual Panels Windows application program. The firmware covers
revision D and E of the Mil-Std704 standard. The Virtual Panels covers the
remaining revisions A, B, C and F. This provides coverage of all available
standard revisions.
The user interface for each implementation is different, however. The revision D
and E tests can be operated directly from the power source’s front panel or
through the supplied Virtual Panels program. The revision A-C, F tests can only
be operated through the supplied Virtual Panels program. Thus, for rev A-C and
F, a Windows PC and interface is required.
Section 9.6.1 covers operation of the firmware-based revision D and E tests.
For information regarding the operation of the MIL-STD-704 revision A, B, C,
and F tests with the Virtual Panels, please refer to the Avionics Software Manual
(CI part no. 4994-971 included on CDROM). Note that future updates of the
Virtual Panels may include overlapping coverage for revisions D and E in the
software as the Virtual Panels program is designed to support all revisions. For
now, revisions D and E have no associated data files in the Virtual Panels.
