1 SCOPE
1.1 Purpose
This document sets out the actions required prior to using an In-House Test Platform PC. It coverstwo variants of IHTP; a general PC that is used to host the IHTP software, and a purpose built IHTPwith integral ARINC429 and Discrete interface hardware.
Note: The document does not cover the standard PC connections (power, peripherals, etc).
1.2 System Overview
The IHTP comprises a desktop PC with monitor, keyboard, mouse and CD-RW. It also containshardware to allow interfacing to ARINC429 serial data busses and discrete inputs and outputs. Whilstthe purpose built IHTP comprises a 1.5GHz Pentium 4 processor, the system has been designed foruse with lesser spec PC’s including laptops. These devices are not expected to provide the full IHTPfunctionality simultaneously but will perform one or two tasks.
The operating system for the IHTP is Windows NT with the test software written using Visual C++.The test software will be written such that it will run with or without the ARINC429/discrete interfacehardware. This will facilitate the use of a laptop computer when the IHTP is required to support aircraftor simulator set-ups.
1.3 Document Overview
The structure of this document is as follows:
Section 1 provides a brief overview of this document and the system to which it applies,
Section 2 provides full details of any other documents referenced from this document,
Section 3 gives the instructions and guidance needed for the successful installation of the IHTPhardware,

3 INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
3.1 Installation of a Desktop IHTP
3.1.1 General
The desktop IHTPs contain all the hardware necessary to connect to an Avionics Rig usingARINC429, RS232, RS422 and 28V Discrete interfaces. Since the IHTP is based around a standardmultimedia Personal Computer (PC), facilities are also provided for an external speaker system. Allconnections are made at the rear of the IHTP base unit. Figure 1 shows a schematic of theconnections required to connect an IHTP to an Avionics Rig, and Figure 2 shows a photograph of therear of a desktop base unit with each of the connectors identified.
Document D31 defines the connections used in joining an IHTP to an Avionics Rig.

3.1.2 ARINC 429 Connections
All ARINC 429 connections are performed using a single 68 way sub-D type connection to thBecause the Avionics Rig ARINC 429 card only provides 16 channels and the IHTP ARINC adapter has 16 transmit and 8 receive channels, the Avionics Rig end of the cable may havetwo, 44 way D-type connectors fitted. These are identified as A429-1 and A429-2. For systemthe Avionics Rig has two ARINC 429 adapters fitted, A429-1 is the card that is closest to thewith A429-2 closest to the CMU (see Fig 3).
Note: For ease of construction, the cable used to connect the IHTP to the Avionics rig may bSCSI3 cable with the Avionics Rig end terminated in one, or two, 44 pin D-Type connectors.

.1.3 28V DC Discrete Connections
urrently, only IHTP rigs 3 and 4 (at Rochester) will support discrete connections. All discrend outputs operated by the IHTP are available on a single 37 way D-type connector on theanel of the IHTP (see Fig 2). Similarly, a single 50 way D-type connector is provided on thee discrete signals (see Fig 3).
.1.4 RS232 Connections
he desktop PC provides two RS232 ports on the rear panel of the base unit (see Fig 2). Oese (COM2) is used with a null modem cable to connect to the Avionics Rig COM2 port anrovides the connection for the Display Control Panel (DCP) emulator of the IHTP.
he other 9 way D-type connection (COM1) is used for the output from the IHTP Ground Stmulation. The connection between IHTP and Avionics Rig will comprise either two VDL4ransponders coupled back-to-back or an RS232 to RS422 adapter, to allow testing of the aardware, as depicted in Fig 4. Note that the adapter unit forms an integral part of the 9 wayonnector at the end of the connection cable.

The RS232 port(s) on the IHTP may also be used to connect the Debug port on either PowerPC to aHyperterminal. To achieve this, an RJ45 to 9 way D-type adapter is required, such as can be obtainedfrom Farnell (p/n 647-846).
3.1.5 Sound Connection
A single 3.5mm stereo jack plug is required to connect an external speaker/amplifier system to theIHTP. Figure 2 shows the position of the socket on the rear panel of the IHTP base unit; the greensocket should be used.
3.1.6 Ethernet Connection
A single RJ45 connector is provided for the IHTP ethernet connection. The port provides a standard10/100 baseT connection.
Each Desktop IHTP has been allocated a unique BAE SYSTEMS IP address in the range 10.4.111.x.The exact IP address for each IHTP is printed on a label affixed to the top of the base unit.
3.1.7 PC Connections
The standard connections are used for the screen, mouse and keyboard and so these are notdescribed here.
Before connecting to the mains supply, installers should check that the voltage selector switch is setappropriately for the country of operation.
For further details, see the PC manufacturers handbook.
3.2 Installation of a Laptop IHTP
Connections to a laptop are much simpler; only the ethernet, sound and, potentially, the RS232 portsare used.
3.2.1 Ethernet Connection
The ethernet interface for the Laptop systems is provided by a PCMCIA LAN card. To use this, anadapter cable is provided which converts from the miniature connector on the card to a standard RJ45connector. The port provides a standard 10/100 baseT connection and the laptop uses a static IPaddress in the range 10.4.71.x. The specific IP address for each IHTP is printed on a label affixed tothe top of the base unit. Fig 5 shows the location of the PCMCIA LAN card with the RJ45 adapterfitted.

4 IHTP SOFTWARE INSTALLATIONThe IHTP software suite will be located in the "C:\Program Files\IHTP" directory on both desktop andlaptop PC’s. New issues will comprise a CD containing the complete directory structure, thus allowingusers without Admin privileges to update the software.
The supplied software comprises the main executable; IHTP.exe, and a Dynamic Linked Library,IHTPTAXI.dll that supports the Comms interfaces. Laptop IHTP’s that do not have the ARINC429hardware also require a further DLL, CEI22032.dll, for ARINC interface support.
Configuration files will be held separately from the program files, in directory “C:\ProgramFiles\IHTP\Configuration”.
Similarly, CSV Scenario files will be held separately from the program files, in directory “C:\ProgramFiles\IHTP\Scenario”. This will allow users to retain their individual files following a software update.
The data logging directory will be identified as part of the configuration. Initially, the directories"C:\IHTP\Data Logs" (laptop) and "D:\IHTP\Data Logs" (desktop) will be used.
The following files must all be present in order to use the ActiveX Aircraft Instruments with the IHTPSoftware Aircraft Model. Those files of types .dll and .ocx will require RegSvr32.exe (located inC:\WINNT\SYSTEM32) to be run against each one to register them with the host PC’s registry:
C:\WINNT\SYSTEM32\ASYCFILT.DLL
C:\WINNT\SYSTEM32\MFC42.DLL
C:\WINNT\SYSTEM32\MSVCRT.DLL
C:\WINNT\SYSTEM32\OLEAUT32.DLL
C:\WINNT\SYSTEM32\OLEPRO32.DLL
C:\WINNT\SYSTEM32\STDOLE2.TLB
C:\PROGRAM FILES\GMS\AIR.OCX
C:\PROGRAM FILES\GMS\AIRM.OCX

5 ACCEPTANCE TESTINGBecause the IHTP is based upon a standard PC, Acceptance Tests following shipment and deliverywill comprise the Power On Self Test (POST) of the PC plus a test of the ARINC 429 interfacehardware in the desktop IHTP.
5.1 Power On Self Test
The PC POST is run whenever power is applied to the base unit of a desktop system, or to a laptop.No user action is required.
The system will be deemed serviceable if the normal Windows NT login dialogue is displayed within 2minutes of power being applied.
5.2 ARINC 429 Interface Test
At the login dialogue, login as "ihtpguest", password "ihtpguest" (without the quotes) with a domain ofthe IHTP number (like RC256x; as written on the top of the base unit).
Click on the START button, and navigate to "Programs:Condor CEI-x20 SW:ExamplePrograms:Individual Channel Test". This will invoke a DOS window that will run the test program.
Answer the questions as follows:
Board Number: 0
Transmitter Channel: 1
Receiver Channel: 1
Wrap Mode: I (Internal)
Speed: H (High)
Compare Data?: Y (Yes)
After approximately 15 seconds, press any key to terminate the test, and observe the printed resultstatement. The system is operational if there are no errors reported in this statement.
Press any key to remove the test window.
Note that any transmit or receive channel can be used (within the range given on screen) and eitherhigh or low speed. External wrap mode can be chosen if an external test adapter is fitted; in this case,the selected channels should be chosen according to the wiring of the adapter.
