- Sources Sought Notice: The Air Force Flight Test Center, Edwards AFB has a requirement for METS-201, P/N SDS-2000012003 with METS validation software. This device will be used by all combined test force programs at Edwards AFB. It must have the capability to validate IRIG 106, Chapter 10 format recordings. The salient characteristics are described below. The METS-201 system is a multi-channel test data generator providing eight PCM streams, one MIL-STD-1553B Redundant Bus, one UART channel, one IRIG-200 Time Code B channel, one IRIG-200 Code G channel, two TTL Discrete channels, and one 1 PPS output. The PCM, MIL-STD-1553B, and UART channels must embed a UTC synchronized one microsecond resolution time-of-transmission as data in each stream. The time, discrete, and 1 PPS channel must be synchronized to UTC to a one microsecond resolution. PCM channels must support IRIG 106, Chapter 4 and Chapter 8 formats, provide bit rates from 100 Kbps to 20 Mbps, provide clock and data outputs in both TTL and RS-422 signal levels, and provide the capability to periodically truncate a PCM minor frame. The MIL-STD-1553B channel must provide A and B busses, support formats representing all legal 1553 message types, provide a format with missing responses, provide a format with RT Busy responses, provide a format with 16PP 194 response words, and provide a format with MIL-STD-1553B protocol violations. System must also include a software application to validate IRIG 106, Chapter 10 format recordings of the generated test data streams. Validations must include data contents analysis and recorder time stamping analysis to a one microsecond resolution.
