1.0 INTRODUCTION
This manual describes
the
diagnostic program for the Peripheral Interface Controller
(PIC).
The PIC
Diagnostic (PICDIAG)
is
designed to verify correct operation
of
all functions of
the
PIC. A second PIC
is
required in order to fully test the HP-IB circuitry and the non-controller functions of
the
Advanced Bus
Interface
(ABI)
chip.
The
PICDIAG
is
written
in SPL-II and runs under
DUS.
1.1
REQUIRED HARDWARE
The hardware required to
run
the
PICDIAG
is
the HP 3000 Series
37
minimum configuration:
Console (connected to the TIC
at
slot
1,
port
0)
HP-IB Tape Drive
SPU (with
the
following board set): CPU
Memory
1.2 REQUIRED
SOFTWARE
TIC (in slot
1)
.
PIC
(as
a cold load path)
a second
PIC
The most recent revision
of
the following software
is
required:
DUS
1.3 DIAGNOSTIC PROGRAM STRUCTURE
The PICDIAG
is
composed of tests
that
can be
run
individually or
in
combination. The selected tests
can
be looped a specific number of times or
until
you
halt
them.
