<P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an apparatus, a system and a method for identifying a fault in an electronic system. <P>SOLUTION: One apparatus includes a memory for storing a model of the electronic system, a processor, and a fault module. The processor is configured to pass a system input through the model, generate a corresponding simulated output, and the fault module is configured to determine a fault based on comparison between a system output and the simulated output. The system includes the electronic system including a plurality of components for generating system outputs based on system inputs and the apparatus for identifying a fault in the electronic system. One method includes a step of generating a model of the electronic system, a step of delivering one or more inputs to the electronic system through the model and generating a corresponding simulated output, and a step of identifying the fault based on the comparison between one or more simulated outputs and one or more electronic system outputs. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2010,JPO&INPIT |
