COTSWORKS announces the general availability of integration services and customized automated in-line rack mounted optical test systems. The company’s Optical Integrated Test (OIT) Platform enables cost-effective testing of optical subassemblies in avionics LRUs at the manufacturing level. The Optical Integrated Test (OIT) Platform offers OEMs the ability to certify the input and output performance of their products with software and hardware that can operate inside of the OEM’s production line.

The OIT Platform can be configured to defined specifications and then test and monitor each port for parameters such as output power or receiver sensitivity. The OIT can function as a standalone go/no-go test or be integrated into a manufacturing test database using predefined Python command scripts making the OIT Platform a cost-effective and efficient test setup for multi-channel avionics assemblies where optical parameters can be captured at the same time as verifying protocol parameters.
