Running Diagnostics
Introduction
Introduction
There are two types of diagnostics for the HP/Agilent 8922: diagnostic tests and the HP/
Agilent 8922B specific “RAM Test”. The latter is appropriate for the HP/Agilent 8922B
only. The diagnostic tests are contained either on the memory card, part number 08922-
10003 or in ROM memory for instruments with firmware revision code A.03.00 and
above. The HP/Agilent 8922B specific “RAM Test” is contained on the “08922-10001,
8922B Driver” disk supplied with the HP/Agilent8922B.
Most of the diagnostic tests relate to a fault in a specific instrument section. Therefore, if
chapter 1 identified a specific section of the instrument, only those tests need to be run.
The diagnostic tests whose names begin with E or G are specifically for the HP/Agilent
8922E/G. The other tests are for any HP/Agilent 8922.
This chapter comprises two sections. The first section, “Running Memory Card or RAM
Based Diagnostics”, shows how to load and run the memory card based or ROM based
diagnostics. The second section, “Loading and Running the RAM Test”, shows how to
load and run the HP/Agilent 8922B RAM test. Equipment requirements and installation
procedures are given in the HP/Agilent8922B User’s Guide, Part Number 08922-90020.
This chapter uses the diagnostic test names from an early memory card revision. ROM
based diagnostic test names may differ from the names used in this chapter.
