THE WRIGHT BROTHERS
OF NO FAULT FOUND
INDUSTRIES
INTERMITTENT FAULT DETECTION (IFD) AUTOMATIC TEST EQUIPMENT
Universal Synaptics advanced intermittence diagnostic solutions, designed for electronics maintenance, employ patented neural-sensing circuitry that monitors all potential failure points individually yet simultaneously in parallel, ensuring precise intermittent fault detection, as well as expediting traditional continuity and shorts testing.
Our all-lines-all-the-time capability guarantees measurement of the right circuit at the right time, never missing an intermittent event. This Automatic Test Equipment (ATE) complies with US Department of Defense (DoD) MIL-PRF-32516 standards for electronic test equipment and systems for intermittent fault detection and isolation in chassis and backplane conductive paths, as well as Electrical Wiring Interconnect Systems (EWIS) / wire harnesses.

ADVANCED INTERMITTENCE DIAGNOSTIC & PROGNOSTIC SOLUTIONS
Intermittent Fault Detection And Isolation System 2.0™
(IFDIS 2.0™)
The IFDIS 2.0 is an advanced automatic test equipment system capable of interfacing in increments of 1,280 electrical connection points. IFDIS 2.0, patented diagnostic technology essential to aircraft maintenance and no fault found remediation, can simultaneously and continuously monitor all unit under test (UUT) circuits, individually at the same time to detect intermittent faults that occur, even as short as *50 nanoseconds (0.00000005 seconds) in duration.
Portable Intermittent Fault Detector™
(PIFD™)
The PIFD is capable of interfacing with 128, 256, or 512 electrical connection points. PIFD is patented diagnostic automatic test equipment purpose-built to solve no fault found wiring issues on-wing or in any maintenance environment. Like IFDIS 2.0, the PIFD simultaneously and continuously monitors all unit under test (UUT) circuits, individually at the same time, detecting intermittent faults that occur, even as short as *50 nanoseconds (0.00000005 seconds) in duration.
