FTK100

OVERVIEW

FTK100 is an integrated Field Test Kit which provides an extensive set of testing functions to verify the operational status of Aventech’s line of airborne air-data, GPS and inertial system products. FTK100 test functionality includes:

  • Validation and calibration of pressure channel measurements for both pitot-static and five-hole probes including barometric, pitot-static, angle-of-attack and angle-of-sideslip pressures
  • Display of three-axis accelerometer and rate sensor measurements for validation of inertial subsystem
  • Display of GPS receiver data for validation of GPS subsystem
  • Display of three-axis magnetic sensor measurements
  • Display of temperature and humidity measurements for validation of environmental / meteorological subsystem
  • Reporting of IBIT status
  • Reporting of CBIT status
  • Firmware update capability for both the FTK100 unit itself as well as the attached instrumentation

Features

  • 3.5” Colour QVGA (320 X 240) TFT Touch-screen LCD display
  • Intuitive easy-to-use menu driven operating system
  • Integrated pump, plenum and valve system for provision of test pressures
  • High-speed CAN AERO port for communication with the device under test
  • One 15 psi pressure port for testing / calibrating barometric sensors
  • Five 1 psi pressure ports for testing / calibrating pitot-static, angle-of-attack and sideslip pressures
  • Integrated USB port for storage of data files and test reports which can then be easily transported to other computer systems
  • Internal Real-Time Clock (RTC) for time stamping validation / calibration reports
  • Integrated Lithium Ion battery providing up to 10 hours run time
  • Integrated battery charging electronics with 100-240 50-60 Hz VAC plug-in wall charger
  • Integrated battery gauge for reporting battery charge status

The FTK100 interfaces with a variety of air-data probe calibration fixtures and can be utilized as a standard pressure calibration device. FTK100 full functionality exists for the Aventech Research Inc. ARIM200 Air Data Probe and ARIM320 Air / Inertial / Meteorological Digital Data System.
