HP-IB BLOCK TROUBLESHOOTING
8-432. There are two Failure Messages from
Table

in the Operating and Programming Manual, to help
troubleshoot the HP-IB Block. Failure code
9.2
indicates that the HP-IB MCU is not responding and 9.4 warns
of a communications failure between the Executive and HP-IB microcomputers.
8-433. To troubleshoot this block, first check all supply voltages, and also the
TTL clock signal at pin
2
of
MCU U17.
8-434.
The HP-IB Operation Verification Test in Section IV of this manual can be used to verify proper opera-
tion of the HP-IB Block. Refer to Section IV, paragraph 4-41, for details.
8-435. If the HP-IB Verification Test
will
not run, use the HP-IB test setup from Section IV and the following
instructions to help troubleshoot a failure.
8-436. Check to see
if
the REMOTE ENABLE and INTERFACE CLEAR latches are setting and clearing
properly.
a. When the REN (REMOTE ENABLE) line of the HP-IB bus goes HIGH
(U10 pin 11), the REN
latch goes LOW (U8 pin 11) and the HP-IB MCU tries to clear the latch.
