The Future of
Flight Line Avionic
System Testing 1

Building on nearly 50 years of providing superior

avionics test sets, the AVX-10K is a compact,
durable tester capable of providing a wide range
of quick airborne system auto-tests and in-depth
troubleshooting using software specific applications.

Using over-the-air, direct and coupled connections the

AVX-10K can provide testing for the following systems:

Communications Navigation Surveillance

y AM (VHF) y ILS y Transponder Modes 2

– LOC A, C, S
y FM (UHF)
– GS
y ADS-B Out
y SSB (HF) – MB
y ADS-B In (Traffic)
y SELCAL y VOR 3
y DME – 1030 MHz (ADS-B,
ADS-R, TIS-B)
– UAT (ADS-B, TIS-B,
Other Test Tools
FIS-B)
y ELT y TCAS I/II and TAS
y VSWR testing

y Distance to Fault y ADS-B Monitoring

y GICB Monitoring

y UAT Monitoring

The added flexibility of software-based test

configurations means the AVX-10K provides the right
capabilities for every individual shop’s testing needs.

StrataSync™ Cloud-Enabled Test-Data

Use your favorite mobile device with the AVX-10K for easy
Management
remote access to the test set.
StrataSync is a hosted, cloud-based software
application that provides asset, configuration, and test-data management for a wide range of Viavi Solutions
instruments. StrataSync manages inventory, test results, and performance data anywhere with browser-based ease
and improves technician and instrument efficiency.

StrataSync stores test data in a central location, enabling viewing and sharing of test-data results. Often, data is not
centrally collected and its long-term value is underrated. The causes of system failures, and data from previous tests
is not available or is not analyzed. With StrataSync, critical aircraft performance information can be stored in a secure
location, enabling proactive problem-area identification. Data is also accessible via an API to simplify automated retrieval.

Asset Management
StrataSync asset management provides a single, intuitive
way to monitor and assure your AVX-10K has the latest
firmware installed. An administrator can quickly identify
out-of-date test sets and apply firmware updates
automatically via StrataSync which are deployed to the
test set by simply syncing to StrataSync via the internet.
New software options can also be purchase at a later
date and deployed via StrataSync. This dramatically
reduces the amount of time spent in the work center The StrataSync online asset management and reporting tool ensure
test sets are up-to-date with the latest firmware, test capabilities,
identifying upgrade requirements, and then manually and provides access to test report data.

upgrading the test set.

With StrataSync, registration can identify which test units are assigned to each technician. StrataSync tracks each test-
set sync with the server, making utilization and test practices visible.
