1.0 INTRODUCTION
This manual describes the diagnostic program for the Peripheral Interface Controller (PIC). The PIC
Diagnostic (PICDIAG) is designed to verify correct operation of all functions of the PIC. A second PIC is
required in order to fully test the HP-IB circuitry and the non-controller functions of the Advanced Bus
Interface (ABI) chip.
The PICDIAG is written in SPL-II and runs under DUS.
1.1 REQUIRED HARDWARE
The hardware required to run the PICDIAG is the HP 3000 Series 37 minimum configuration:
Console (connected to the TIC at slot 1, port 0)
HP-IB Tape Drive
SPU (with the following board set): CPU
Memory
1.2 REQUIRED SOFTWARE
TIC (in slot
1) .
PIC (as a cold load path)
a second PIC
The most recent revision of the following software is required:
DUS
1.3 DIAGNOSTIC PROGRAM STRUCTURE
The PICDIAG is composed of tests that can be run individually or in combination. The selected tests can
be looped a specific number of times or until you halt them.
