properly. Please make sure the A741 is on-line, since there will be no feedback by this test. The test pattern is fully generated by the controller card and can be issued at all times, even if the A741 Repro System software is not installed.

4.9.3Test Selection

Inorder to perform the following procedures it only necessary to select the "t" from the LBTEST command list aove. This is where the following tests are located.

4.9.4Test command – B(utton) Select "B" from the commands listed

under "t". Same test as pressing the button on the Little Bear card above. This time the command is given by software with minimal interaction with the controller card. Again, the test print is generated by the controller.

4.9.5Test command – P(rint)

Select "P" from the commands listed under "t". A more comprehensive test. The LBTEST program will generate a checker-board test pattern simulating the normal data transfer. If this test works o.k., then basically the PC and the PCI card are working fine.

4.9.6Test command – F(ifo)

Select "F" from the commands listed under "t". This test is mainly used to test the communication between the software and controller hardware. If there are any PCI bus problems this test will fail. (see chapter 4.4.3, Select the correct PCI slot for the A741 Repro System card)

4.9.7Re-starting or stopping the Littlebear driver and rfxServer

First make sure that the rfxServer program is stopped (see chapter 4.5, Starting (stopping) Littlebear driver and rfxServer). Folow the same procedure used for stopping the littleBear driver to restart the system. If the system will not restart (see chapter 4.5, Starting (stopping) Littlebear driver and rfxServer). or simply shut the system down and restart.
