\subsection{Double Faults Represented on a PLD Diagram}
We can show the test cases on a diagram with the double faults residing on regions
corresponding to overlapping contours see figure \ref{fig:plddouble}.
Thus $TC\_18$ will be enclosed by the $R2\_SHORT$ contour and the $R3\_SHORT$ contour.
\begin{figure}[h]

\caption{PT100 Double Simultaneous Faults}
\label{fig:plddouble}
\end{figure}
The usefulnes of equation \ref{eqn:correctedccps2} is apparent. From the diagram it is easy to verify
the number of failure modes considered for each test case, but complete coverage for
a given cardinality constraint is not visually obvious.
\subsubsection{Symptom Extraction}
We can now examine the results of the test case analysis and apply symptom abstraction.
In all the test case results we have at least one an out of range value, except for
$TC\_7$
which has two unknown values/floating readings. We can collect all the faults, except $TC\_7$,
into the symptom $OUT\_OF\_RANGE$.
As a symptom $TC\_7$ could be described as $FLOATING$. We can thus draw a PLD diagram representing the
failure modes of this functional~group, the pt100 circuit from the perspective of double simultaneous failures,
in figure \ref{fig:dubsim}.

\subsection{Derived Component : The PT100 Circuit}
The PT100 circuit again, can now be treated as a component in its own right, and has two failure modes,
{\textbf{OUT\_OF\_RANGE}} and {\textbf{FLOATING}}. It can now be represented as a PLD see figure \ref{fig:pt100_doublef}.
\begin{figure}[h]
\centering
\includegraphics[width=100pt,bb=0 0 167 194,keepaspectratio=true]{./pt100/pt100_doublef.jpg}

\caption{PT100 Circuit Failure Modes : From Double Faults Analysis}
\label{fig:pt100_doublef}
\end{figure}
\subsection{Statistics}
If we consider the failure modes to be statistically independent we can calculate
the FIT values for all the failures. The failure mode of concern, the undetectable {\textbf{FLOATING}} condition
requires that resistors $R_1$ and $R_2$ fail. We can multiply the MTTF
together and find an MTTF for both failing. The FIT value of 12.42 corresponds to
$12.42 \times {10}^{-9}$ failures per hour. Squaring this gives $ 154.3 \times {10}^{-18} $.
This is an astronomically small MTTF, and so small that it would
probably fall below a threshold to sensibly consider.
However, it is very interesting from a failure analysis perspective,
because here we have found a fault that we cannot detect at this
level. This means that should we wish to cope with
this fault, we need to devise a way of detecting this
condition in higher levels of the system.
