CSIP Level 1 Troubleshooting: System Software Tools
System
Confidence Test
The System Confidence Test or System Test is a comprehensive test of the system operational
status. This test comprises numerous sub-tests: the System Functional Test, all of the Field
Replaceable Unit (FRU) Comprehensive Tests, and all of the Interface Tests. If a sub-test fails, the
system completes the remaining sub-tests. System Test execution from this screen is available to
all users and displays only a pass-fail result on the system monitor. Sub-test results are annotated
in system logs. System users should notify Philips Ultrasound if the confidence test fails.
The System Confidence Test is also accessible from within the Tech Admin functions. Test execu-
tion from within Tech Admin is limited to service personnel. If a sub-test fails, a failure code is
displayed.
The System Confidence Test should be run any time a system error is displayed, or if the user
suspects problems with the system. If an error message is displayed during the test, reboot the
system with the On/Standby switch.
