HP Series 37 - ABI Chip Verification

Test Descriptions
3.4 ABI CHIP VERIFICATION
This test section verifies the correct operation of the Advanced Bus Interface (ABI) chip. The ABI
supports all the functions of the PHI (LSI chip) plus Cyclic Redundancy Check (CRC) generation,
command parity selection,
and other features. The PICDIAG determines that the ABI and not the PHI is
present, reports the result to the user, and then proceeds with the tests if the ABI is present.
Step 14. PHil ABI Type Determination - This test determines and indicates whether a PHI or ABI IS
installed on the PIC being tested. It also indicates the revision level of the device. If the test
indicates
than an ABI is not installed on the PIC, an error message is generated and the
diagnostic is terminated.
Step 15. ABI Register Initialization Test - Verifies that the ABI registers are correctly initialized
following
an SIMB INIT channel command.
Step 16. Data Paths and Register Addressability Test - Performs a memory test of ABI storage
registers by using a random
data pattern. The error messages separate errors into three
categorif;s:
o PIC or ABI data line failure
• PIC or ABI register addressing failure
• ABI storage register failure
Step 1:. ABI HP-IB Functions Test - Tests all possible ABI and HP-IB state changes:
