Quick Answer
The surveillance sensor fault coverage quantifier (reliability domain) calculator computes fault coverage from the input values you provide.
Calculator
Result Interpretation
Surveillance Sensor Fault Coverage Quantifier (Reliability Domain) calculator computes Fault Coverage in 1 using the defined engineering formula and the input values provided. No universal acceptance threshold is defined by this calculator.
Worked Example
Verified calculation
Given:
- Detected Hazardous Faults = 92
- Detected Non-Hazardous Faults = 8
- Total Hazardous Faults = 100
Expected Result:
- Fault Coverage = 1
Engineering Interpretation:
Under the given input conditions, the calculated result is: Fault Coverage = 1.
The actual numerical result is computed by the Runtime engine using the persisted tool definition. The values shown here come from automatically validated test cases.
Formula / Method
fault coverage = (detected hazardous faults + detected non-hazardous faults) / total hazardous faultsFault Coverage.
Variables
| Symbol | Label | Role | Description |
