H65 DIT-MCO Upgrade STATEMENT OF WORK: 1. This specification is for the procurement and installation of several standard Dit-Mco International upgrade/options into a Dit-Mco Automatic Circuit Analysis Test Systems at the USCG, ARSC facility in Elizabeth City, NC. The upgrades and options required are as follows: A. 2524 Upgrade: This upgrade replaces the test system’s computer, monitor, keyboard, mouse, printer and all necessary devices and cabling. It replaces the Dit-Mco T81 software with the Dit-Mco TestExecutiveâ software and provides Windows 2000 Professional. This upgrade changes the test system to a true windows base system. It is essential that the components in this upgrade be identical with the 2000/TestExecutiveâ series system already in operation at ARSC to allow interchangeability of parts and to negate the need for additional spare parts and maintenance training. B. EPP Terminal Selector Upgrade: This upgrade replaces the logic assembly, terminal selector and test location controller with an enhanced parallel port terminal selector. It is essential that the components in this upgrade be identical with the 2000/TestExecutiveâ series systems already in operation at ARSC to allow interchangeability of parts and to negate the need for additional spare parts and maintenance training. C. SMU Upgrade replacing DCS II: This upgrade removes the DCS II digital comparator system and installs the standard measurement unit (SMU). It is essential that the components in this upgrade be identical with the 2000/TestExecutiveâ series systems already in operation at ARSC to allow interchangeability of parts and to negate the need for additional spare parts and maintenance training. D. Test Condition Data Display Option: This upgrade enhances the system monitor display and gives the operator the ability to increase the font sizes 2 and 3 times normal and increase the brightness of the test condition line without affecting the rest of the system display. E. Find the Fault Option: This upgrade identifies, in UUT nomenclature, and graphically displays the location of the open and/or shorted circuits as relative distances between open UUT connectors or shorted location. This capability shall differentiate between the UUT, adapter cable and tester defect. Implementation shall be automated and based on the association of the adapter cables and test program.
