3.6.11  Alarm Simulation Interface 
Each Gaia CDMU provides monitoring capability of 8 Alarm inputs, as single ended switch-closure (SAC) 
inputs. 
AVI-1254/CDMU-793,CDMU-794/T 
Alarm Simulation shall conform to the requirements of: [AD06] Table 3.5-28 (Relay Status Acquisition 
Source Specification) 
Note: The SAC driver interface specification is identical to RSA. 
AVI-1639/CREATED/T 
In open-loop test mode Alarm Inputs shall be commanded by local MMI or by the CCS (Test 
Procedure or Command Line). 
AVI-1640/CREATED/T 
In closed loop test mode the RTS shall command the Alarm Inputs. 
3.6.12  Bi-level Telemetry Status Simulation Interface 
The Gaia EIU provides monitoring capability of 32 Bi-level Telemetry Status inputs. 
AVI-1648/EIU-797,EIU-798/T 
The Avionics SCOE shall provide 32 Bi-Level TM Status Simulation inputs to the GAIA EIU in 
accordance with the following interface specification: [AD06] Table 3.5-33 (Bi-level Digital Source 
Specification) 
AVI-1649/CREATED/T 
In open-loop test mode Status Inputs shall be commanded by local MMI or by the CCS (Test 
Procedure or Command Line). 
AVI-1650/CREATED/T 
In closed loop test mode the RTS shall command the Bi-Level Telemetry Status. 
3.6.13  Separation Strap Simulation 
The EIU provides a facility for measuring the status of the GAIA Launch Separation Straps. 
AVI-2890/EIU-780/T 
The Avionics SCOE shall provide simulation of 5 relay closures for input to the EIU. 
AVI-2891/EIU-782/T 
Relay Closure simulation shall conform to the requirements of: [AD06] Table 3.5-28 (Relay Status 
Acquisition Source Specification) 
AVI-2892/CREATED/T 
In open-loop test mode Separation Strap state shall be commanded by local MMI or by the CCS (Test 
Procedure or Command Line). 
AVI-2893/CREATED/T 
In closed loop test mode, the RTS shall command the Separation Strap states required. 
3.6.14  Relay Status Simulation 
The CDMU and EIU provide a facility for measuring the status of relay closure inputs. 
AVI-1673/EIU-780/T 
The Avionics SCOE shall provide simulation of 2 (CDMU) and 128 (EIU) relay closures. 
Note: The quantity defined here for the EIU includes those allocated for CPS LV Status Simulation - 
Section 3.6.5.2 - and Separation Strap monitoring, Section 3.6.13.
