\subsection{Description of a typical `test rig'}


Outline the fmmd process.


Show modules 
which would be testable by a test rig

values read or logical conditions from {\dcs}
at a mid-level.


Trace a theoretical example and show how FMMD detects the
possible causes of the test rig failure.


Exlain why this would save time and money, and possibly 
because testing is typically done in house
reveal any unknown failure modes of {\dcs} or even base components.
