Board Setup
When you select INITIALIZE/TEST BOARD from the Setup Menu the
Board Setup menu appears, where you can select additional parameters.
Figure 25. Board Setup Menu
The first three menu items on the Board Setup Menu are toggles for
switching the ARINC transmit and receive bit rates between 12.5K and
100K, and toggling the ARINC parity between odd and even. The board
shown in Figure 25 is set to operate at transmit and receive bit rates of
100K, using odd parity.
This menu also allows you to run the self-tests described in chapter 2,
“Installation”. Execute self-test runs a wrap around test. The board can be
tested through an external or an internal loop. The external test uses a
wrap-around connector between the transmit and receive channels. The
internal wrap around test checks the internal circuitry.
Once started, the test continues to run until you press a key. The tests use
the parameters for which the board was configured. The system fails if the
transmitter and receiver are configured for different bit rates. The screen
in Figure 26 shows that five tests have been completed with no failures.
Each test takes less than a minute.
