Theory of Operation

System Tests (System PV)

Perform Test All

Selecting Perform Test All will initiate all of the previous functional verification tests in the order they are listed. The failure of any or all of the tests will be reported in the test menu field of each of the tests. The Perform All Test will not initiate the Front Panel Test or the Display Test.

Front Panel Test

A mock-up of the logic analyzer front panel is displayed on the CRT when the Front Panel Test is initiated. The operator then pushes each front panel button and turns the RPG (rotary pulse generator) knob to toggle the corresponding fields from light to dark on the front panel mock-up. Successively pushing any front panel key will cause the corresponding field to toggle back and forth between light and dark. An exception is the Done key. Pressing the Done key a second time will cause an exit of this test.

The Front Panel Test passes when all of the key fields in the front panel mock-up on the CRT can be toggled by pressing the corresponding front panel key, and the two RPG fields can be toggled by turning the knob. The Front Panel Test is not called when Perform Test All is selected.

Display Test

When initiated, the display test will cause three test screens to be displayed sequentially. The first test screens is a test pattern used to align the CRT. The second two screens verify correct operation of the color palette by displaying first a full bright screen and then a half bright screen.

The pass or fail status of the display test is determined by the operator. The Display Test passes when all three test screens are displayed according to chapter 4, "Calibrating and Adjusting." The display test is not used when Perform Test All is selected.
