INC. TWIN-STAGE ON-LINE
P.I. C OMPARATOR TSC
The TSC is intended to be a P.I. measuring device. It
views and measures in stereo. There is capability for motion
while retaining the stereo fusion, if only scale differences
are present. The stereo measuring capability is achieved by
transmitting the X & Y coordinates of both left and right
stages to the on-line computer. The optical system is a modified
=Stereo Comparator Head. The film illumination system pro-
vides background illumination over the entire 6 X 6 format on
each side with high-intensity sources under each objective lens.
The TSC is scheduled for delivery to NPIC on or about
27 October 1969.
2. PRE-ACCEPTANCE TESTING
On 14 October 1969, representatives from RED & TEB will
visit the contractor's facility. The, purpose, of this visit
is to check all items required in the contract and specifica-
tion prior to shipment. The major deletion will, of necessity,
be on-line operation. Any discrepancies noted will be corrected
prior to shipment.
3. ACCEPTANCE TESTING
Acceptance testing will be performed by ESD/TEB. The TSC
Specification #02228 will be used.
All requirements in the specification will be checked in
a go-no go fashion. All failures will be reported to TSSG/RED
for action. This includes an on-line test using the 491 computer.
The manuals and drawings will be reviewed for acceptability.
This testing should be completed by 7 November. A Memorandum
Test Report will be prepared at the end of Acceptance Testing.

4 . ENGINE BERING & PERFORMANCE TESTING
After the TSC has been accepted, engineering and performance
tests will start. As in acceptance testing, all requirements in
the Specification will be tested. However, the data will not be
go-no go, but will explore the capabilities of the unit in depth.
In addition, such factors as usability, r.eliability,main-
tainability and safety will be thoroughly checked.
This testing should be completed by 19 December 1969.
The TSC is scheduled to be delivered to IAS after completion
of the ESD/TEB effort. It will be requested that the operator's
comments, or a summary of them, be forwarded to TEB after 4 weeks
of operation by IAS personnel.
6. TEST & EVALUATION REPORT
Upon completion of the testing program described herein an
overall report will be produced. This report will contain de-
tails of all testing performed and will contain conclusions and
recommendations by TEB and IAS, if any. It is planned to dis-
tribute this report to all operating components within NPIC, to
ERRAND members, and to other qualified components upon request.
7. ASSISTANCE REQUIRED
Applied Mathematics Branch/AID/PSG will be requested to pro-
gram the ESD computer terminals to accept the 48-word format used
by the TSC and to echo the input message for purposes of on-line
test.
