Abstract
A system for acceptance testing includes a data acquisition system operable to receive a plurality of sensor inputs from a component under test. The system also includes a health and usage monitoring system (HUMS) interface operable to receive data from a HUMS coupled to the sensor inputs. The system further includes a data processing system operable to determine a plurality of condition indicators based on the sensor inputs acquired by the data acquisition system, receive a plurality of HUMS data from the HUMS interface based on the sensor inputs, compare the condition indicators to the HUMS data, and output a test result based on results of the comparison.
Claims15
A system for acceptance testing, comprising:
- a data acquisition system operable to receive a plurality of sensor inputs from a component under test;
- a health and usage monitoring system (HUMS) interface operable to receive data from a HUMS coupled to the sensor inputs;
- and
- a data processing system operable to perform a test of the HUMS by determining a plurality of condition indicators including at least one of a magnitude of a particular frequency, and a root mean square (RMS) value of the particular frequency based on the sensor inputs acquired by the data acquisition system, receive a plurality of HUMS data from the HUMS interface based on the sensor inputs, compare the condition indicators to the HUMS data, and output a test result based on results of the comparison.
A method of performing acceptance testing, comprising:
- receiving a plurality of sensor inputs at a data acquisition system from a component under test;
- receiving health and usage monitoring system (HUMS) data from a HUMS based on the sensor inputs;
- testing the HUMS with a test system by determining a plurality of condition indicators including at least one of a magnitude of a particular frequency, and a root mean square (RMS) value of the particular frequency based on the sensor inputs acquired by the data acquisition system;
- comparing, by the test system, the condition indicators to the HUMS data;
- and
- outputting, by the test system, a test result based on results of the comparison.
