2.0 INTRODUCTION
This section of the manual describes how to operate the memory diagnostic (MDIAG37).
The primary function of MDIAG37 is to test and diagnose the HP 3000 Series 37 memory. The most
important feature of MDIAG37 is that you control test selection, looping, error handling, and printing
messages.
2.1 TEST SELECTION
MDIAG 3 7 is divided into tests that can be run individually or in combinations. The order in which the
tests run, however, is fixed. Use the TEST command to select tests.
Use the List Diagnostic Status
(LDS)
command to list which tests are currently selected. A
"1"
under the
test number indicates that test section is enabled. A "0" indicates that test section is disabled.
The standard default selects all tests. If you want to run a simple "go/no go" version of MDIAG37, select
the following test list:
I)
Test Section 1 - Low Memory/Diagnostic Compatability Test
2) Test Section 2 - EDAC Test
3) Test Section 3 - Address Test
4)
Test Section 6 - Move Data Test
5) Test Section 9 - Log Test
To change the test selection, enter TEST, then enter a "_" in front of the test number(s) to be deleted, or
enter a "+" in front of the test number(s) to be added. Enter
TEST
and a list of test numbers without
using a "_" or a
"+"
to select only those tests that you list.
2.2 LOOPING
You can select two types of looping when you configure MDIAG37.
The first type loops on the selected test list the number of times that you specify. If you do not enter a
parameter, the selected tests will be looped until you halt them. Set the
LOOPOFF
option to discontinue
looping. LOOPOFF also turns off the loop on error (LOOPERR) option. The loop count can be any number
from I to 32,767.
