C-STAT (Countermeasures Sequential Timing & Amplitude Tester) is a Firing Pulse Interval Test Set, a suite of test components designed to analyze firing pulse timing from a Countermeasures Dispensing System such as the AN/ALE-47.

A test scenario is configured by replacing the AN/ALE-47 Countermeasures Magazine with the Pulse Tester unit and connecting it to the Pulse Collector unit using the connectors on the front panel. C-STAT, with one Pulse Collector, can support up to 16 Pulse Tester units. The test scenario can be expanded by connecting additional CM-C-16 units via the expansion connector on the front panel.

C-STAT's Graphical User Interface(GUI) software provides an easy-to-use Windows 10 interface for users to control test runs and analyze collected data. C-STAT's Firing Pulse Interval Tester is a scalable suite of test components designed to analyze firing pulse timing from a Counter Measures Dispensing System.

​C-STAT ​provides the required components to measure timing intervals between firing pulses sent to Countermeasures Dispensers.

Components include:

• AF CMDS Pulse Tester (CM2-T-47)
• ARMY CMDS Pulse Tester (CM2-T-130)
• CMDS Pulse Collector (CM2-C-16)
• CMDS Graphical User Interface (GUI)

• Allow for system-wide test of up to 16 dispensers
• Intuitive operations for easy setup and analysis
• Allows sequencers to poll and fire as if magazines were in the system
• No batteries required
• No special PC hardware required

• Scalable, distributed architectures
• Easy-to-use Windows 10 user interface
• 1-millisecond timestamp
• Provides dummy load for sequencers
• Single collector unit powers all testers
• ID key pins
• Simple RS-232 interface

C-STAT provides the interface to the firing pulses by replacing the dispenser magazines on the aircraft under test.

• Acts as a dummy load for the system sequencer to simulate dispenser squibs
• Senses the firing pulse current using a preset threshold value and logs the occurrence to the Collector unit
• Powered from Collector unit cabling (no batteries)
  • Pulse Width: 150 nsec min (factory adjustable)
  • Pulse Repetition Rate: 4.9 kps
  • Pulse Detection Threshold: Factory preset to 3A (factory adjustable -1A to 5A)
  • System Compatibility: AN/ALE-40, AN/ALE-47

C-STAT's Pulse Collector provides these functions:

• A central collection point for pulses captured by up to 16 Pulse Testers
• Timestamps pulses with 1 msec resolution
• A connection to the software running on the host PC
  
• Pulse Logging: 1024 Pulses per test file
• Baud Rate: 9600
  
• Test Support: 16 CMDS Pulse Testers
• Trigger: 5V TTL compatible output, open collector, active low signal

Power Requirements for CM2-C-16

• Input Voltage: 85 -265 Volts AC
• Frequency Range: 47-440 Hz
• Fuse: 2 ea., 2 Amps / 250 V Slow-Blow, 5x20mm
• Inrush Current (typ): 30A @ 115VAC Input, 60A @ 230VAC Input

C-STAT's Graphical User Interface (GUI) provides an interface for the user to control test runs and analyze collected data.

PC Requirements for CM-ITS GUI

• Processor: Intel Pentium III 650Mhz/ Compatible or better
• Memory: 128 Mbytes RAM
• Hard Disk: 4 Mbytes Program Storage, 10 Mbytes minimal Trace Storage
• Media Support: CD-ROM / CD-R/ CD-R/W drive
• Operating System: Windows 10 (Requirements may vary with operating system)
