             STIMULATION

Specifies the minimum performance requirements for equipment to detect and isolate nanosecond, microsecond and millisecond conductive paths and intermittent faults, which can occur in any and all of the hundreds to thousands of Line Replaceable Unit (LRU)/Weapon Replaceable Assembly (WRA) chassis and backplane circuits and their wire harnesses.

This specification covers the minimum performance requirements for equipment to
detect and isolate nanosecond, microsecond, and millisecond intermittent faults (see 6.5.10), which
can occur in conductive paths (see 6.5.2). Conductive paths include Line Replaceable Unit
(LRU)/Weapon Replaceable Assembly (WRA) (see 6.5.12 and 6.5.19) chassis and backplane
circuits and their wire harnesses; weapon system Electrical Wiring Interconnect System (EWIS)
(see 6.5.4 and 6.5.20); and patch cables, electronic test cables and their connectors. This
specification is not intended to address hard opens (see 6.5.14), shorts (see 6.5.16), nor constant
function failures found in routine electronics repair.
