HYDRA

Service Manual

Send the following commands to Hydra in sequence, and measure that the correct Digital Output line measures greater than +3.8V dc (HIGH state.)

DO_LEVEL 0,1 <CR>

Verify that output 0 measures a HIGH state.

DO_LEVEL 1,1 <CR>

Verify that output 1 measures a HIGH state.

Repeat the command for all eight outputs.

4-15. Digital Input Test

1.Perform the DIGITAL OUTPUT TEST steps 1 through 5.

2.Using either a terminal or a computer running a terminal emulation program, read the Hydra Digital Input lines.

Send the following command to Hydra: DIO_LEVELS? <CR>

Verify that the returned value is 255.

Note

The number returned is the decimal equivalent of the Digital Input binary word (status of inputs 0 through 7). See Table 4-7 to determine if the number returned corresponds to the inputs jumpered to ground in this test.

3.Jumper input 0 to ground by connecting the ground test lead to the input 0 test lead. Then send the following command to Hydra:

DIO_LEVELS? <CR>

Verify that the returned value is 254.

4.Disconnect input 0 from ground, then jumper input 1 to ground. Send the command: DIO_LEVELS? <CR>

Verify that the returned value is 253.

5.Repeat step 4 for each input and verify the correct returned value (See Table 4-7).
