AN/ASM-496 DATA LINK CONTROLLER TEST SET

The AN/ASM-496 data link controller test set (fig. 16-10) is a small, portable, flight-line test device used to perform preflight and periodic performance evaluations of the guided weapons controller. The controller initiates certain data link commands and proportional signals for the AN/AWW-7B guided weapons monitor control set. The test set is used with the AN/ASM-184B(V)-1 aircraft weapon control test set to completely evaluate the aircraft interface for the AN/AWW-7B guided weapons monitor control set, Operation, output frequencies, and certain voltage levels are evaluated by the test set. The test set results are displayed on a quality meter mounted on the front panel. A total of 11 test results are resolved into a quality meter readout.
