Chapter 3: Bridge Debugger Diagnostic Tool; Introduction - AGFA Avantra 36/44 Service Manual

3.1

Introduction

The bridge debugger software is a diagnostic tool built into the bridge/buffer mod-
ule PCB. This tool has several features that aid in the debugging of bridge and
buffer problems on the Avantra 36/44.
The debugger port software monitors the flow of bridge and buffer commands to
and from the DEC. Monitoring takes place while the system runs in normal opera-
tion mode (not service mode). The debugger also provides a means for testing var-
ious components in the bridge/buffer area and for checking the status of all the
bridge/buffer related sensors.
