This documentation supports the delivery of the OTPS and is used in conjunction with the appropriate Automatic Test Equipment (ATE) to test an avionics unit under test (UUT).
OTPI description. The OTPI is the result of merging one or more TPIs into a group.
TPI description. The TPI shall consist of information needed to support the TP software; e.g., test set-up, program start procedures, probe point locations, and other special instructions required to assist the ATE operator performing maintenance on a UUT.
MTPSI description. The MTPSI is the OTPS element that contains a list of all TPS elements item required to test a UUT on a specific ATE.
