The ’BITE’ page, see Fig. 5−7, is the most important page of the TSC. It provides a detailed view of
individual BITE test results. It allows to select the BITE tests currently running and allows to check,
if their result values are periodically retrieved. Some of these tests require configuration parameters,
e.g. the Mode S address used for the test signal.

BITE tests cover
S hardware components
S status parameter thresholds
S software thread activities
S signals
The individual BITE tests are discussed in the next section.
The tests are grouped according to:
S ’Critical’ tests on Ground Station operations
S tests on data integrity (’Warning’)
S ’Maintenance’
A failed test can thus result in a critical failure or only in a warning.
