Method and system for validating video monitors, gauges, indicators and controls within their installed environment is disclosed. The methods do not require access to the electronic signals that control or stimulate those devices. Direct visual capture of the instruments under test is provided along with a novel sequence of operations to compare the present visual presentation to a known-good reference image and optionally, to known-bad reference images. When the method is applied to complex and interconnected systems, such as aircraft cockpits, tangible benefits are realized, including minimizing equipment removal and quicker fault isolation. |
