3  AVIONICS SCOE REQUIREMENTS 
3.1  System Level Definition 
AVI-4006/GSE-SYS-390/R 
2 sets of Avionics SCOE shall be provided: 
•  Set #1 for AVM. 
•  Set #2 for Spacecraft PVM AIT. 
AVI-4007/CREATED/R 
Both sets of Avionics SCOE shall be identical, with the exception that only Set #1 shall provide Power 
Simulation, as defined in Section 3.6.1 and Section 3.6.2.2. 
The Avionics SCOE comprises the following major items: 
An Avionics SCOE Controller - see Section 3.2 
Application Software with MMI - see Section 3.9 
Instrumentation cards to fulfil each of the Spacecraft interface requirements - see Section 3.6 
An interface with the Gaia Central Checkout System (CCS) - see Section 3.7 
Interfaces to the Gaia Real Time Simulator (RTS), Star Tracker SCOE's and Dynamic FPA Simulator - see 
Section 3.8 
AVI-210/CREATED/R 
Where possible, the Instrumentation cards providing the Spacecraft and EGSE Interfaces shall be 
based on COTS products (i.e., VME, VXI, PXI, GPIB) or previously developed in-house systems. 
AVI-221/CREATED/R
