MLT 1540 Light Table - Pre-Production Model
ILF
Ref. Test & Evaluation Report I- F--]1540ISplit-Format Light Table
Mod II (NPIC/R-46/70)
1. Introduction
1.1 The first production model \of the IIMLT 1540 Light Table is scheduled 25X1
to arrive on or about 1 October 970, This table is the culmination of
18 months of development, testi , and re-work. It is to be the standard
for the table procurement packag of 389 tables. As stated in the
.contract., "All instruments deliv red under this Contract shall also meet or
exceed the requirements of this specification (i.e., Technical Requirements
for the Production of the 1540 Split-Format Light
Table and. Mount for Various icros?ereoscopes or performance of the
accepted 'pre-production model."
1.2 It~is important that this table be.given a thorough testing,
ail
especially in regard to those featureswhich were unacceptable when last
tested ('see reference). This will insure that the tables delivered will
meet the high expectations of the community for this equipment.
2. Performance Testing
2.1 Thgse features which were found unacceptable in the April testing,
will be -tested individually to insure that they have been modified and are
in good order.
2.2 The testing of these features will be documented ina report 'supple-
mentary to that written on the April test series.
3. Operational Inspection
3.1 In order to rther assure PI compatability with this item, the
operating divisions will be asked to participate in a very brief operational
inspection. By this method, the changes in the item which meet performance
specifications but are not operationally suitable can be corrected.
3.2 The operational components which participated in the April evaluation
of the prototype will be asked to participate. Each component will be given
4 hours with the unit in the individual component's area. It must be
understood at the outset that only 2 classes of changes can be' accomplished
at this time: 1) Changes without which the light tables cannot be effectively
used, or 2) Minor changes which can be accommodated without appreciable
delay of production schedule.

4. Acceptance Test Procedures
4.1 Equipment Performance Branch, ESD will be requested to- assist TEB in
formulating Acceptance Test Procedures for use on all incoming production
units. This work must be accomplished prior to delivery of the first unit.
4.2 The pre-production unit will be used as a test bed for these procedures
to insure efficiency of the testing and rapid delivery of the accepted
units to the operating components.
4.3 The pre-production model will bee a completely motorized unit, as
specified for IEG/NPIC. There are two other configurations which will be
delivered to NPIC for DIAAP-9 and SPAR. NPIC will perform acceptance
testing on these units, using the standard procedures (where applicable)
and the contractural specifications for these components which differ from
the pre-production configuration.
5. Scheduling
5.1 The attached schedule has been coordinated within TSG and with the
operating components. The actual delivery date is unknown at this time,
therefore elapsed time from arrival, and not dates, are used.
5.2 If deviations from the schedule are required, this should be
coordinated with TEB. All affected components will be notified in this
eventuality.
