22 Self-Test After Power Up
The XT-100 utilizes an embedded microprocessor to perform all necessary tasks. Upon power-up, the XT-100 will initialize and perform
an initial self-test.
The XT-100 will now check the calibration of the trombone channel by moving the electromechanical trombone delay line towards its
maximum setting (maximum delay) until it reaches an infrared light barrier set at a precise position.
A full-speed test is then performed by moving the delay back to 0 relative (minimum delay) and then back to 625.0 ps and re-checking
the calibration setting.
If microwave relays are installed, a power cycle to OFF, ON, and then back to the OFF position of all the installed relays will be performed.
The delay is reset to its zero delay (0.0 ps) position and the unit is ready to accept commands.
