1. A test buck system comprising:
- a test buck, the test buck including;
a portable bed;
a seat module mounted to the bed; and
a first OIM disposed on the bed, at least a portion of the first OIM selectively moveable in four degrees of freedom; and
a controller electrically connected to the first OIM of the test buck, the controller configured to selectively move at least a portion of the first OIM in four degrees of freedom.

Abstract
A test buck, a test buck system and related method are disclosed. The test buck system may comprise a controller and a test buck. The test buck may include a portable bed, a seat module mounted to the bed, and a first OIM disposed on the bed. At least a portion of the first OIM may be selectively moveable in at least four degrees of freedom, up to six degrees of freedom. The controller may be electrically connected to a first Operator Interface Module (OIM). The controller may be configured to selectively move at least a portion of the first OIM in at least four to six degrees of freedom.

18. A method of determining a desired operational position of at least one OIM, the method comprising:
-
simulating a machine operation while one of a plurality of operators is disposed in a seat module mounted to a bed and is operating a first OIM mounted to the bed and disposed in a home position; moving the first OIM to a final position in response to input from the operator; generating a set of final test positions for the OIM by performing the simulating and moving steps for each of the plurality of operators; and defining a desired operational range of adjustability and a desired operational position for the OIM based on the set of final test positions, wherein at least one final test position in the set of final test positions is different from the home position by four degrees of freedom. - View Dependent Claims (19, 20)
