757 Major Static Test instrumentation systems
Abstract
Several instrumentation systems were designed and built to support the 757 Major Static Test Program. These systems included a 36 channel Sound Detection System, a 48 channel Inertia Detection System, an Airplane Attitude Display System and two large scale Data Acquisition and Display Systems capable of recording and displaying up to 1536 channels of data. Graphic displays were developed for plotting the test data on-line. CAD/CAM systems were used to produce strain gage location drawings. The supporting software that was developed and the graphic display systems resulted in significant cost savings over previous major test programs.
