Use & Relationship

The ATE Interface Hardware Manual is used to support installation, operation, and maintenance of interface hardware for automatic test equipment. This manual is directed toward technicians trained in the use of automatic test equipment to perform piece-part fault isolation.

This Data Item Description (DID) contains the format and content preparation instructions for the data product generated by the specific and discrete task requirement as delineated in the contract and paragraphs 4-2.b(8), 4-2.c, and 5-3.f of DS-56, Data Standard for the Preparation of INFOSEC Technical Manuals.

This DID is applicable to manuals prepared specifically for the Government.

Preparation Instructions

1Reference DocumentsThe applicable issue of the documents cited herein, including their approval date and dates of any applicable amendments, notices, and revisions, shall be as stated herein. DS-56, Data Standard for the Preparation of INFOSEC Technical Manuals, current edition, are available at the National Security Agency, 9800 Savage Rd, Suite 6718, Fort Meade, Md 20755-6718, Attn: I8222.

2FormatThe test program manual information that is computer generated shall be provided on CDROMs.

3ContentThe front cover (handling instructions), Summary of Content page, Record of Amendments page, Table of Contents, List of Illustrations, List of Tables and Introduction, will be prepared by the Government at the time of final publication and are not deliverable items in accordance with this DID. The manual shall contain six chapters as described in DS-56, "Data Standard for the Preparation of INFOSEC Technical Manuals", and outlined below.

3.1Chapter 1: Description of ATE interface hardwareDescribe the ATE interface and its purpose, and include the following:

3.1.1The nomenclature and classification of the ATE interfaceInclude test head adapter, matrix boards, probe boards, plug-in elements, ancillary units and a short explanation of reference designations.

3.1.2A general description of the purpose and function of the ATE interfaceincluding a description of the electrical capabilities.

3.1.3A brief physical description of the ATE interfaceincluding a table of sizes and weights.

3.1.4A photograph (three quarter view) of the complete equipmentwith the accessories furnished by the manufacturer, and with major assemblies of the equipment identified.

3.1.5Illustrations showing the position and identity of each plug-in unit, package, board, module, and chassis(including a table listing titles, part numbers, and reference designations).

3.2Chapter 2: InspectionProvide instructions for unpacking, inspection, and preparing the equipment for reshipment. Also include the following information:

3.2.1Step-by-step procedures necessary to prepare the ATE interface for initial use.

3.2.2Instructions for preliminary mechanical adjustment/alignment.

3.2.3Procedures for repacking the equipment for reshipmentincluding disassembly or dismantling procedures, and requirements for special handling.

3.3Chapter 3: Operating ProceduresProvide instructions to inform test station operators how to connect, adjust, and use the ATE interface hardware.

3.4Chapter 4: Principles of OperationProvide a general description of overall ATE interface operation. Special emphasis shall be placed on electrical operation of any circuitry within the ATE interface.

3.5Chapter 5: Corrective MaintenanceProvide corrective maintenance data, including the following:

3.5.1A list of necessary tools and text equipment.

3.5.2A procedure for trouble shooting the ATE interface.This description should reference specific tests within the stimuli test of the ATE test program, and relate those tests to specific circuits within the ATE interface.

3.5.3Additional test procedures, other than the stimuli test of the ATE Test Programwhich are necessary to isolate the trouble.

3.5.4Detailed disassembly procedures, if necessary, to gain access to or remove assemblies.

3.5.5A procedure for repair of the ATE interfaceincluding specific procedures and techniques. Supporting illustrations, as necessary, shall also be included.

3.5.6Timing, schematic, and wiring diagrams.Timing diagrams should relate to the actual signals that are being processed in the stimuli test of the ATE test program. The schematic diagrams should be the same as that used in the test program manual.

3.6Chapter 6: Replaceable PartsThis chapter shall include a Group Assembly Parts List (GAPL) for each plug-in assembly and chassis assembly, including those parts mounted on panels, cases, covers, etc. The Government will provide the GAPL. The contractor shall provide parts location illustrations, as required, to support the GAPL for location and identification of all parts included in the GAPL (see paragraph 5-3.f of DS-56).

3.7Security ClassificationIt is anticipated that the security classification of the interface hardware manual will be UNCLASSIFIED. Unclassified manual will be marked FOR OFFICIAL USE ONLY (FOUO).

3.8IllustrationsIllustrations shall be prepared in accordance with paragraph 4-2.b(8) of DS-56, Data Standard for the Preparation of INFOSEC Technical Manuals.

3.9Block DiagramsBlock diagrams shall contain the functional units of the ATE interface, and be drawn as rectangles enclosing the names given to the functions performed. Block diagrams show the relationship of the functions to each other by interconnecting lines. Simplified block diagrams will show only the major functional units. A detailed block diagram will show all the functions within each block of a simplified block diagram. If a block diagram is spread over two or more sheets, interconnections between sheets shall be clearly indicated.

3.10Equipment Logic Diagrams

3.10.1The reference designation of each circuit board shall be included on these diagrams.

3.10.2Show the schematic type representations of R-C networks, filters, etc.The component reference designation and value shall be shown (R1, 10K; C1, 10pf) and the type of module.

3.10.3The logic diagrams shall list the names of all input or output signals to or from the ATE interfacethe pin numbers to which they are applied, or from which they are taken, and their origins or destinations. If a logic function is spread over two or more sheets, interconnections between sheets shall be clearly indicated.

3.10.4All test points, plugs, receptacles, and pin numbers shall be shown and identified by reference designation.

3.10.5Major logic functions shall be identified by name in a larger size type immediately adjacent to the circuitry for those functions.

3.11Schematic DiagramsThe requirements identified in paragraph 4-2.c of DS-56 also apply to schematics.

3.12Timing DiagramsTiming diagrams shall show a sequence of operations and interrelationships. These shall be graphic presentations in which a change of state is plotted against time and should relate to the actual signals being processed in the stimuli tests in the ATE test programs.

3.13Wiring DiagramsWiring diagrams (or complete wire lists, including source and destination) shall show the connections between the ATE tester, all plug-in wiring boards, lamps, switches, etc.

3.14Parts Location IllustrationsParts location illustrations shall show the location of all parts for each ATE interface including those parts mounted on panels, cases, covers, etc. Each part shall be identified either by reference designations or by find number in a manner that will facilitate correlation between the GAPL and the parts location illustrations. If possible, the parts location illustrations shall be reproducible copies of the appropriate assembly drawings modified to remove notices, dimensions, find numbers and leader lines for non-maintenance items, and other such details that are not required for location and identification of parts included in the GAPL. These requirements may necessitate preparing additional views as required for clarity.

3.15Location of IllustrationsWhen possible, page-size and smaller illustrations shall be located on pages facing the text/tabular pages that make the first reference to them, or as soon as practicable following the first reference. All foldout illustrations shall be grouped at the rear of the manual and shall be assigned numbers prefixed with the letters "FO-" followed by a dash and the figure number. The foldout illustrations shall be assigned figure numbers consecutively beginning with "FO-1" for the first, FO-2 for the second, etc. All sheets of a multiple sheet illustration shall be assigned the same figure number, with the individual sheets identified in parentheses following the figure title.

3.16Engineering DrawingsIf engineering drawings, schematics, etc., being prepared on the same contract fulfill the basic requirements, they shall be used in the manual. Cost for these drawings, except for reproduction expense, should not be applied to this data item.
