Design For Test (DFT) requirements were created during the early design proce ss. Final test vectors were determined during schematic layout reviews before fi nal capture. I worked on the Cabin Entertainment Multiplexor Controller (EMC) Li ne Replaceable Unit (LRU) which was responsible for the distribution and control of the entertainment content A/V baseband signals via OFDM throughout the cabin . These automated and manual tests were controlled by a programmable magnetic sw itch matrix which was commanded by a Unix & X-Windows Sun Solaris interface. Wir ing Harnesses/Cables were designed along with a PCB interface via a vacuum pulldown system to route signals to ARINC 629 connectors (including I.D. resistors). Within the PCB, EM shielding was designed by adding a ground plane between laye rs. A Wiring Harnesses/Cables was designed to interface with the ATS.
