ERROR  INTERPRETATION

INTRODUCTION 
The TICDIAG traps many errors 
that 
would  normally  result  in  interrupts and system failures.  In  many 
cases, the TICDIAG creates the circumstances in which these errors occur. 
Each  failure  detected  by 
the 
TICDIAG  results  in  an 
error 
message.  The 
error 
message  contains 
the 
following information: 
1) 
the 
test 
that 
detected the error; 
2) 
the symptoms of the error 
(e. 
g. 
incorrect register contents); 
3) 
the 
functional block of circuitry 
that 
failed; and 
4) 
an 
error 
number 
that 
indexes the possible failed component(s). 
EXAMPLE: 
Lynx 
bus 
logic 
not 
in 
state 
000 
after 
INIT. 
Current 
State 
is: 
001. 
LBus 
State 
Machine/Reset 
Logic 
failure. 
Error 
number 
22. 
Lynx 
Bus 
Sequencing 
test 
failed. 
If  an 
error 
occurs  during  execution 
of 
the TICDIAG  a,ld  it 
is 
not  an 
error 
trapped  by  the  TICDIAG 
program,  a 
DUS 
error 
message 
is 
displayed.  This  should  only  occur  under  unusual  circumstances  (e.g., 
some 
part 
of 
the system 
other 
than 
the TIC  under test failed to function properly).
