Reliability Prediction Program

A systematic procedure for determining the reliability of an electronic system based on Military Handbook 217D, the standard used by the military for reliability analysis. The menu-driven program does the actual failure rate calculations and computes the total system failure rate and the Mean-Time-Between-Failure. Calculation results may be printed showing reliability prediction by assembly and sub-assembly with application data for each system element. Operates under CBASIC on CP/M 2.2 with 64K of memory and two disk drives. A 132 character wide printer is required for reports. Demo manual and disk $60.00; full MIL-HDBK-217C $1,250.00; MIL-HDBK-217D $1,500.00. From Powertronic Systems, Inc., distributed by Elliam Associates.
