CSS Common Custom Solution
Postponed FDI load.
Johnny Hansen, GTO
December 2005
What is postponement ?
 Postponing the branding and naming of the
instrument after final assembly.
 Loading model specific software as late in
the manufacturing process as possible.
 Using same hardware for many product
families.
Why postponement ?
 Saving manufacturing costs
 Lowering inventory SKU’s
 Ease inventory handling
 Benefit from CCS
(Common Custom Solutions)

Model Series Level (MSL) - bullet points
 Branding hardware (Hybrids)
 All AUDIOmaster TPI’s checks MSL
 Always go to same or a lower MSL level
 Never go to a higher MSL level.
 Generic faceplates starts on the highest MSL
level (25).
MSL – how it works
 Model series level is a way to ensure that
instruments are not upgraded in software
levels.
 AUDIOmaster Test Programs will allow for
instruments to go to a lower Model Series
Level.
 Same functionality is known in earlier
product families:
– A Canta4 product cannot be converted (upgraded) to a
Canta7 product.
– A Canta7 product can be converted to a Canta4.
Model Series Level check
 Every test program have a MSL
 Test program read MSL from device
 Compare with MSL in test program
 If test program MSL is equal or lower than
device MSL then proceed otherwise halt.

AUDIOmaster will perform necessary HI-calibrations according to selection of test mode and
instruments model. (Input-, Output-, IAD calibration)
AUDIOmaster will test instrument and generate a test report with the correct FDI loaded.
AUDIOmaster will set the appropriate MSL (Model Series Level) according to selected TPI
