Self-Test Procedures

 

Power-On Self-Test

 

Each time the power supply is powered on, a set of self-tests are performed.

 

These tests check that the minimum set of logic and measurement hardware

 

are functioning properly. The power-on self-test performs checks 601 through

 

604 and 624 through 634.

 

Complete Self-Test

 

Hold any front panel key except the "Error'' key for more than 5 seconds while

 

turning on the power to perform a complete self-test. The power supply beeps

 

when the test starts. The tests are performed in the order shown below.

601

Front Panel Does not respond The main controller U17 on the top board

 

attempts to establish serial communications with the front panel controller U7

 

on the front panel board. During this test, U7 turns on all display segments.

 

Communication must function in both directions for this test to pass. If this

 

error is detected during power-on self-test, the power supply will beep twice.

 

This error is only readable from the remote interface.

602

RAM read/write failed This test writes and reads a 55h and AAh checker

 

board pattern to each address of ram U15 on the top board. Any incorrect

 

readback will cause a test failure. This error is only readable from the remote

 

interface.

603

A/D sync stuck The main controller issues an A/D sync pulse to U17 and U16

 

on the top board to latch the value in the ADC slope counters. A failure is

 

detected when a sync interrupt is not recognized and subsequent time-out

 

occurs.

604

A/D slope convergence failed The input amplifier is configured to the

 

measure zero (MZ) state in the 10 V range. This test checks whether the ADC

integrator produces nominally the same number of positive and negative slope decisions (±10%) during a 20 ms interval.
