The purpose of this study was to compare the effectiveness of graphic vs. computer-aided link analysis. One analyst performed a graphic analysis of a complex flight control system checkout console. Another, following the same operating procedure, carried out a computer-aided analysis of the same console, utilizing the RECOMP II and a specially prepared machine-language program.
Results indicated that the computer-aided analysis was equally accurate and resulted in significant savings in time and money. Therefore, further development and application of the computer-aided technique are recommended.
