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 U14. 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 U18

 

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.

605

Cannot calibrate rundown gain This test checks the nominal gain between

 

integrating ADC and the U17 on-chip ADC. This error is reported if the

 

procedure can not run to completion due to a hardware failure.
