Notes:

The Electronics Unit for this programme was based on that used on the F-16A/B programme. It contains a MIL-STD-1553 data bus interface, processor and symbol generator. Data can be received in analogue form but the digital Databus significantly reduces the number of data lines. This Special to Type Test Equipment (STTE) for the EU system allows the databus to be exercised by a simple switch array.
