INTRODUCTION
This section describes how
to
operate
the
TICDIAG.
The TICDIAG
is
composed of routines
that
test a specific
function
of
the
TIC PCA. These routines
can
be
run
individually or in various combinations. The
SIB
tests,
if
selected,
run
before
the
AlB tests. The
order
of
the
tests
is
maintained regardless of which tests are
run
because each test relies on
the
circuitry
that
has been tested by
the
previous routine.
You
can
specify
the
type of
information
to
be
received from
the
TICDIAG
and
can display
that
information
at
either
the
console or
the
printer. The options are to
print
pass messages, failure messages,
or troubleshooting messages. Field personnel will most likely use
the
pass
and
failure messages.
The
troubleshooting messages aid in
the
isolation of
faulty
components.
All
input
to the TICDIAG
is
done via
the
system console.
2.1
LOOPING
You can select one of two types of looping.
The first type loops
the
specified number of times
that
you
enter
in response
to
a prompt. The loop
count
can
be from I to 32,767. Continuous looping can be specified by entering a
O.
The
SIB
tests
are
run
the
specified number of times and
then
the
AlB tests are
run
the
specified
number
of
times. Consequently,
continuous looping
cannot
be specified if both
SIB
and
AlB tests are selected.
The second type loops on failure.
If
specified,
the
failing test will be looped continuously.
2.2
TIC
DIAGNOSTIC COMMANDS
The TICDIAG prompts you for
the
testing parameters.
At
each prompt, you
can
type
HELP
and
a help
message will be displayed. The help message
displays the acceptable responses and
the
resulting action of
those responses. You
can
also type EXIT in response to any
prompt
to
have
the
TICDIAG stop testing.
Input
to
the
TICDIAG
is
through
the
system console.
