E-DISK SPEED OPTIMIZATION 6.5.
During GFI,
TL/l
stimulus programs are loaded continuously
from the UUT directory on the hard disk or floppy disk. Floppy
disk accesses comprise a large portion of the GFI execution
time. An E-disk can be created in the RAM of the
91OOA
where
UUT information can be temporarily stored. The 9100A
accesses the UUT information from the E-disk quickly, and GFI
operates faster.
To create an E-disk and load the UUT information into it,
perform the following steps:
1.
Press the MAIN MENU key.
2.
Locate and press the
softkey
under E-DISK (you
may need to press the SOFT KEYS button to have
E-DISK appear on the display).
3.
Press the RIGHT ARROW key. The highlighted
word on the first line of the display should be
LOAD. If it is DELETE, press the
softkey
under
LOAD.
4. Press the RIGHT ARROW key. If the UUT
information is stored on the 9105A floppy disk in
disk drive
DRl,
press the
softkey
under
DRl
(if
information is on DR2, press
softkey
DR2). If the
UUT information is stored on the 9100A hard disk
(HDR), press the
softkey
under HDR (if on
DRl,
press the
softkey
DRl).
5.
Press the RIGHT ARROW key. Type the name of
the UUT.
6.
Press the RIGHT ARROW key. A default amount
of RAM is shown on the display. This amount
should be enough to store your UUT information.
