11) STANDARD RAM TEST

1Key operation 120 3 CA/AT

2The standard RAM is checked.

The contents of memory must be the same before and after this test. RAM (100000H~1FFFFFH area) is tested in the following procedure:

a)Store data in the test areas

b)Write “00H”

c)Read and compare “00H” and then write”55H”

d)Read and compare “55H” and then write “AAH”

e)Read and compare “AAH”

f)Restore stored data

If an error occurs at a step, the error is printed.

If any error does not occur, the following addresses are checked in turns. Addresses to be checked:

300000H, 300001H, 300002H, 300004H, 300008H, 300010H, 300020H, 300040H, 300080H, 300100H, 300200H, 300400H, 300800H, 301000H, 302000H, 304000H, 308000H, 310000H, 320000H, 340000H, 380000H,
