SECTION 17. TRACE TABLE USAGE
The
trace table can be used to analyze
the path of the steps taken in the
MDl. When in the loop mode, compar-
ison of the steps in each loop will
show any differences in the path
taken. For example:
Diskette MDI trace.
001-y 003-y 005-y OO.9-y 013-y 015-f
001-y 003-y 005-y 009-n 010-y 012-n
This trace shows step 009 was answered
differently. The supplementary infor-
mation at MDI step 009 might supply a
clue to the cause of the intermittent
problem. The supplementary information
displayed at MDI step 009 reads: trThe
purpose of this test is to check the
diskette drive's speed." Because this
step had failed, the diskette unit
should be checked for any problems
that might cause s lo~ diskette rota-
tion (slipping drive belt, etc.).
