Enhanced Features

The AN/ALM-295 is functionally equivalent to the existing ALM-288 tester but with added enhanced features. The Ethernet port will allow for future enhancements, such as being able to download all test results or to slave testers to verify a particular Mission Data File profile prior to flight. By using newer, lower power electronics, greater running life can be achieved, and data from multiple tests can be stored and later downloaded for analysis and archiving. Program upgrades are performed using a laptop computer.
