Subtest 01 All one/All zero test
This subtest performs pseudorandom data read/write. The data consists of “all ones”/”all zero” patterns produced by pseudorandom sequence generator. The test checks address error.
FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF0000000000000000
0000000000000000FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF
Subtest 02 Walking 1/Walking 0 test (Left)
This subtest uses “running one”/”running zero” patterns. This test sequence allows also to checking system bus in maximum noise conditions. The following test sequence is written.
7FFF7FFF7FFF7FFF8000800080008000
BFFFBFFFBFFFBFFF4000400040004000
After all the memory being tested is filled with the pattern, it is read in descanting direction and compared with reference data. As the memory is read, the data is replaced with inverse test pattern. After all the memory is read and replaced with inverted pattern, it is read in descanting direction and compare with new reference data. As the memory is read, the data is replaced with next pattern, which is like first one shifted to right.
Subtest 03 Walking 1/Walking 0 test (Right)
Tee test method is the same as Subtest2. However, the data to be used differs.
