Abstract
A system for testing a number of electronic module assemblies (EMAs) that control one or more personal restraint systems. A programmed processor with a computer system transmits signals that instruct the EMAs to perform a diagnostic self-test. The results of the self-test are received by the computer system and stored in a computer readable memory. In one embodiment, the computer system is a cabin management computer system for use on an aircraft.
Claims13
A computer system for remotely testing a number of electronic module assemblies that control the deployment of one or more personal restraint devices, comprising:
- a programmed processor configured to execute program instructions that cause the programmed processor to:
- transmit one or more codes that identify an electronics module assembly that controls the deployment of one or more personal restraint systems and cause the identified electronics module assembly to perform a diagnostic self-test;
- and
- receive diagnostic self-test information from the identified electronics module assembly associated with the one or more codes indicating if the one or more personal restraint systems controlled by the identified electronics module assembly can deploy.
A non-transitory computer readable media with instructions stored thereon that are executable by a programmed processor to:
- transmit one or more codes that identify an electronics module assembly that controls the deployment of one or more personal restraint systems and cause the identified electronics module assembly to perform a diagnostic self-test;
- and
- receive diagnostic self-test information from the identified electronics module assembly associated with the one or more codes indicating if the one or more personal restraint systems controlled by the identified electronics module assembly can deploy.
A system for testing personal restraint systems in a vehicle comprising:
- a memory for storing a sequence of program instructions;
- a processor for executing the programs instructions such that the processor presents one or more user interface screens that contain:
- icons representing seats in vehicle that are equipped with a personal restraint systems;
- a control that is selectable to instruct a selected personal restraint system to initiate a self-test routine.
A non-transitory computer readable media that stores program instructions that are executable by a processor in a system for testing personal restraint systems in a vehicle, wherein the instructions are excusable by a processor to:
- present one or more user interface screens that contain:
- icons representing seats in vehicle that are equipped with a personal restraint systems;
- and
- a control that is selectable to instruct a selected personal restraint system to initiate a self-test routine.
