DIAGNOSTICS MENUS

The internal diagnostic capabilities of the 373XXA are accessed via the

 

 

Options Menu key, which is part of the front panel Enhancement key

 

 

group. The selections available from the top level DIAGNOSTICS

 

 

menu (DG1) are listed below. See Figure A-1.

Start Self Test

The START SELF TEST selection, when invoked, will automatically

 

 

test circuits throughout the 373XXA. Once invoked, it requires no ex-

 

 

ternal devices or interaction by the user. The net pass/fail result of the

 

 

self-test is written to the CRT screen. Any self test failures will cause

 

 

detailed failure information to be written into the service log.

 

 

This menu is available to service and non-service personnel.

 

Read Service Log

The READ SERVICE LOG menu allows for viewing, printing, clear-

 

 

ing, and saving the internal system service log to floppy disk. The

 

 

CLEAR LOG function is not recommended for non-service personnel.

The Service Log is made up of two parts, the log header and the error listing. The log header contains key system parameters such as initial system turn-on date/time/temperature, current power-on date/time/ temperature, total operational hours, system model, serial, and in- stalled option numbers, date/time/temperature stamp of current serv- ice log viewing session, date/time/temperature of internal hardware calibrations, and statistics about various internal system phase lock- ing activities.

The error listing is a time ordered log containing the system faults with details about the system condition at the time of the fault.
