" In many instances, special testers designed particularly for troubleshooting can provide significant economic and diagnostic advantages over inspection- type testers designed to test products. * The average complexity of diagnostic problems on telemetry and similar types of assemblies is sufficiently high to require special types of diag- nostic features which are not always included in inspection testers.. Much of this equipment is common to all programs, but special design equipment may be required for specific products. FUTURE WORK Since this work achieved the stipulated objectives and most of the test facilities, troubleshooting manuals, and training programs described have been successfully integrated into present production programs, no further work on this project is planned. However, contingent upon a favorable out- come of a feasibility study by the Computer Programming Section, work on another process development order may be necessary to implement the proposed centralized-computer manufacturing test data reporting plan soon after completion of computer-facilities expansion program which is. now well advanced.
