Installation Instructions 3 - 9

3.6 ACCEPTANCE TESTS

The acceptance tests

g

ive information about the correct operation of the

instrument after installation.

The interface test must be performed when usin

g

the pro

g

rammable power

supply for remote operation via the Controller/GPIB interface.

3.6.1 Brief check

After turnin

g

on your power supply, the followin

g

self tests on the hardware parts

will be performed automatically:

• ROM test

• RAM test

• GPIB controller test

• Microprocessor timer test

• Communication (D2B) test

• Display controller test

• ADDA output channel(s) test

The tests will not show up on the display unless an error is detected. In the case

of a hardware error, the followin

g

text + error code is displayed:

ERROR n:ddd n = Indication of the error source.

ddd = Summation of the decimal values of the

individual errors.

The followin

g

error codes are possible:

n = 0: Main CPU error

DECIMAL ERROR DESCRIPTION

128 Display controller failure.

64 Bank switch failure.

32 Not used.

16 D2B failure.

8 IEEE controller failure.

4 Processor timer failure.

2 RAM failure.

1 ROM failure.
