I wrote them for the Space Station integrated testing. If I need a function that is not working in the software or if the hardware is missing or not working properly, I can analyze if something will go wrong. We have problems on the F-14 with analog to digital converers. Since the conversion fails, we do not have an indication of the internal temp. Especially since we see the effort that goes into each and every one.
