This board incorporates major diagnostics that offer substantial improvements to system reliability, because the user is
alerted to channel malfunction. This approach reduces bus traffic, because the Status Registers need not be
constantly polled. Three different tests, one on-line and two off-line, can be selected:
The (D2) Test initiates automatic background BIT testing. Each channel is checked every 5° to a testing accuracy of
0.05° and each Signal and Reference is always monitored. Any failure triggers an Interrupt (if enabled) and the
results are available in Status Registers. The testing is totally transparent to the user, requires no external
programming, has no effect on the standard operation of the card, and can be enabled or disabled via the bus.
The (D3) Test initiates a BIT test that disconnects all channels from the outside world and connects them across an
internal stimulus that generates and tests 72 different angles to a test accuracy of 0.05°. Results can be read from
registers and external reference is not required. Any failure triggers an Interrupt (if enabled). The testing requires no
external programming, and can be initiated or stopped via the bus.
The (D0) Test is used to check the card and the VME interface. All channels are disconnected from the outside
world, allowing the user to write any number of input angles to the card and then to read the data from the interface.
External reference is not required.
Power-On Self-Test (POST): When enabled and saved, POST will initiate the D3 Test upon power-on.
