A programmable test station automatically performs static tests of electrical and pneumatic systems of jet aircraft engines. The test station automatically stimulates the systems to be tested on each engine and measures their response. A programmable data acquisition computer controls both stimuli and measurement, and generates data. The station is operatively connected to a plurality of engines simultaneously and tests certain systems on each in accordance with station user commands. The station includes a voice generator which permits the computer to “speak”to the station user for the purpose of receiving instructions and for communicating instruction acknowledgements and requests.
