This chapter helps isolate problems in the control sections of the instrument, the sections

are:

• A1 Keyboard

• A7 Controller

• A8 Memory

• A20 CRT Driver

• A21 HP-IB Interface

• A33 Hop Controller

Problems in the Control sections can be broken into four types, these types are:

• Parallel Bus

• Serial Bus

• Display

• Keyboard

This chapter addresses each category in a separate section. This chapter assumes that

Chapter13, Instrument Block Diagram will be used as a reference.
