Portable Electronic Test Unit
The design of the Portable Electronic Test Unit is based upon a standard laptop computer. It can be used to simulate a
control pod for testing of either control panel without a pod or it can be used in place of a panel to operate any BOP stack
function. The Test Unit also permits changes to the surface software system utilizing the software development package.

The Portable Electronic Test Unit consists of an IBM The Portable Electronic Test Unit can be used to per-
