6-60. Evaluating Static Signals
Table 6-21 may
be
used to determine whether or not
proper signals are reaching any particular analog control
device. It may also be used to quickly exercise all of the
devices before beginning analog troubleshooting
if
it is
still unclear
as
to which devices are suspect. A number of
the inputs to these devices are static which makes them
particularly easy to check.
For example, suppose quad comparator
U305 appears not
to
be
working. Connect
a
scope to U305-11 and step the
8840A through all functions
and
ranges in the following
sequence:

While doing this, observe the state of U305-11. As shown
in Table 6-21, this 24-range sequence wiil produce the
following pattern at
U305-11:
Next move to U305-5 and repeat. The slow reading rate
gives the following pattern at U305-5:

6-61. Evaluating Dynamic Signals
The procedure for evaluating the dynamic signals is only
slightly more involved. For example, consider U302-7 in
Table 6-21. At the right end of that row the table says to
sync on
U302-3. The sync pulse is negative-going. Apply
it
to channel
1
of a dual-trace scope syncing on the leading
(negative-going) edge. Observe the target pin (U302-7) on
channel 2 of the scope. While stepping through the
24
ranges observe the state of the target pin exactly when the
sync pulse goes from low to high. (See Figure 6-12.) (This
procedure works best in the fast reading rate since the
repetition rate of the sync pulse on
U302-3 is greater.)
