8.3.4.5 Memory Card Checks
Memory Card checks are initiated by pressing
the MEMORY CARD key on the 'Select test'
menu screen:
The WARNING!! gives notice that the inserted
memory card will be overwritten by this test.
This is because reformatting is required to
perform the checks and the card inserted into
the slot will be reformatted as a Results card.
The 9500B first checks for the presence of the
correct SRAM card. If there is no card in the
slot, if the card in the slot is not a SRAM card,
or if it is a SRAM card but not write-enabled,
then the following screen is displayed:
Pressing the MEMORY CARD key on the
'Select test' menu screen transfers to the 'Card
slot test.' screen. This invites a user to select
the memory card slot to be tested, and presents
an 'Overwrite' warning:
SLOT 1 selects 'PCMCIA SLOT 1' for
testing.
SLOT 2 selects 'PCMCIA SLOT 2' for
testing.
EXIT returns to the Interface 'Select
test' menu screen.
Either slot can be used for the test. If one
particular slot is suspect then that, naturally,
will be the one to choose.
After correcting the defect, press the OK screen
key. This transfers to a new screen, and the
sequence of tests begins. The test in progress
is reported on the screen.
The 9500B first checks the state of the card's
internal battery. If the battery voltage is low,
this will be stated on the screen:
If there is no battery in the card, or if the battery
cannot support read/write operations, then the
statement will be 'Battery level is dead.'.
Note:
For a re-chargeable card with a low battery, the
low/dead message may take several minutes to
clear after pressing OK.
The next test is to check the size of the card
memory. While the 9500B is checking, it will
place the following message on the screen:
Once the size check is completed, the 9500B
starts on a 'read/write' check; meanwhile the
display changes to:
