Abbreviated Test Language For Avionics Systems

Abbreviated Test Language for Avionics Systems (ATLAS) is a Mil-spec language for automatic testing of avionics equipment. ATLAS is a heavly modified version of FORTRAN. The ATLAS programming language incorperates an online compiler (OLC), Test executive (TEX), and file manager and media exchange (FMX) packages. Test executive is the mode ATLAS in ran on test stations while testing electronic equipment. A standard ATLAS program structure consists of two elements: preamble structure and procedural structure. The ALTLAS programming language makes extensive use of variables and statement syntax. An ATLAS statement consists of a flag field, statement number field, verb field, field separator, variable field, and statement terminator. Each and every ATLAS statement is terminated with the currency symbol ($). ATLAS is used in the military primarly in on test stations for testing the avionic components of the F-16 Fighting Falcon, C-17 Globemaster III, and B-1 Lancer.

ATLAS statement structure

A standard ATLAS statement: | F STATNO | | VERB |, | VARIABLE FIELD | | $ | Sample ATLAS Statment: 000250 DECLARE,DECIMAL,'A1'(4)$ 000300 FILL,'A1',(1) 1,20,15,30$
