Claim 14:
15. A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium storing a set of instructions for determining a functionality of an associated hydraulic system including first and second motors (M1 and M2) mutually coupled in driving relation with a pump, the instructions, when executed by one or more processors, causing a readiness testing system controller to perform a method comprising:
receiving from at least one sensor (P1 and/or VN), a signal representative of at least one monitored condition of the associated hydraulic system;
selectively controlling activation and deactivation of each of the first and second motors (M1 and M2) with the controller, wherein the controller is in operative electrical communication with the first and second motors (M1 and M2) and operatively coupled with the at least one sensor (P1 and/or VN); and
determining the functionality of the associated hydraulic system by:
(i) determining, based on the received signal while the first motor (M1) is activated and the second motor (M2) is deactivated and driven by the first motor (M1) during a first test interval, whether the at least one monitored condition meets a predefined threshold condition prior to expiration of the first test interval;
(ii) determining, based on the received signal while the second motor (M2) is activated and the first motor (M1) is deactivated and driven by the second motor (M2) during a second test interval, whether the at least one monitored condition meets the predefined threshold condition prior to expiration of the second test interval; and
(iii) generating a readiness signal representative of the determined functionality of the associated hydraulic system based on whether the at least one monitored condition meets the predefined threshold condition during the first and second test intervals.
