Test Description

Start with blank front panel Front panel with all segments on VDAC minimum (TP16 = 0V) VDAC maximum (TP16 = -VREF) IDAC minimum (TP17 = 0V) IDAC maximum (TP17 = -VREF) OVPDAC minimum (TP21 = 0V) OVPDAC maximum (TP21 = 4V)

VDAC ramp slow (TP16, see waveform B) VDAC ramp fast (TP16, see waveform C) IDAC ramp slow (TP17, see waveform B) IDAC ramp fast (TP17, see waveform C) OVPDAC ramp (TP21, see waveform A) MUX/AD (Toggle S3 switch 5 to select input) SRST* and OVPRST$ pulse PWMENhigh

Relay sequence (toggle S3 switch 5 to select relay)3 Tx pulses

1Tests multiplexer inputs. First measure voltage at Ul5 pin 4. Toggle S3 switch 5 until voltage at Ul5 pin 8 equals the voltage at U15 pin 4. Now each time S3 switch 5 is toggled, the multiplexer will sequence through its inputs. The input of the A/D (Ul2-9) will be equal to the output of the multiplexer. Because the A/D is continually reading, its output (Ul2-20) should pulse.

2Continuously reads the contents of location 0 of EEPROM. Check pulses at U22 pin 4.

3Tests relays K601-K606. Toggling S3 switch 5 sequences through the relays. A relay is off when both ends of the coil are at +12V. A relay is on when one end is pulled low. A particular relay will energize every 5th toggle on S3 switch 5. Note that K607 is not tested.
