faux calculateurs

French to English Tech/Engineering Aerospace / Aviation / Space Aeronautics
Hello, I asked this question earlier and received no suggestions so I am reposting it in a simpler form.
We are talking about automatic wiring tests for aircraft. This is one of the tools required for the tests.

The text goes on to say:

Il existe trois types de faux calculateurs passifs :

Les faux calculateurs passifs sans chaînage.

Les faux calculateurs passifs chaînés.

Les faux calculateurs passifs avec chaînage.


And this is what they do:

Les faux calculateurs passifs

assurent l’acheminement filaire des points à tester, vers les unités de sonnage, avec un raccordement direct à l’avion en lieu et place des vrais calculateurs.

Il s’agit d’unités passives n’intégrant ni composant ni carte électronique.

Ils comportent uniquement du câblage filaire point à point et des résistances de détrompage pour leur reconnaissance par le système.

I hope this is enough context.

Thanks vm

Used for test purposes in place of real and expensive units.
Low confidence as I'm not certain of terminology.

Despite my Low, it does appear to attract agreement. Have fun with your job.
Note from asker:
This does make sense in the context and is what I had also come up with - but like yourself, not very confidently. Thank you.
