K2000 SCANNER DIAGNOSTICS
-This section explains the use of the K2000's scanner diagnostics, which
. enables confirmation of the proper function of numerous front panel buttons
and controls.
The K2000 uses a separate microprocessor to scan the keyboard, read the
performance controls, and operate the front panel buttons and LEOs. This
processor, which is called the Scanner, then communicates its findings to the
main 68301 processor (CPU). The scanner is on the Audio/Power board (at
location U30) and is a single-chip, 6502-derived processor; Many potential
failures and problems in the K2000 originate in devices serviced by the
scanner. Thus the scanner has its own diagnostic routines to enable the
tester to see directly how the keyboard, performance controls, and panel
buttons/LEOs are performing.
There are two different diagnostic routines built into the scanner software.
The simpler routine can be entered only at power-up and can function
regardless of whether the engine board and/or LCD display is functioning
properly (an engine board must still be connected to provide clock signals,
however) . This diagnostic routine reads out in binary format via the 8 LEOs,
and consequently is called the LED Scanner diagnostic.
The other diagnostic routine can be entered at any time, and uses the LCD to
display its results. Of course the engine board and LCD must be connected
and functioning properly to see the results. The LCD diagnostic routine is
easier to read than 8 binary-coded LEOs, so in most cases you'll want to use
it rather than the LED routine.
In addition to the two selectable diagnostic routines just described, the
scanner performs a number of automatic tests at power-up. If these tests are
