7.5Background Tests

Introduction

The UDC2500 performs ongoing background tests to verify data and memory integrity. If there is a malfunction, a diagnostic message will be displayed (blinking) in the lower display.

In the case of simultaneous malfunctions, the messages will appear in sequence in the lower display. Table 7-3lists these background tests, the reason for their failure, and how to correct the problem.

Diagnostic messages may be suppressed (stop the blinking) by pressing the RUN/HOLD key. The messages will still be available for viewing by pressing the LOWER DISPLAY key.
