Problems with the HP E3472A/73A Emulator
Itself
To execute the built-in performance verification test
In addition to the powerup tests, there are additional tests available through
the built-in "terminal interface." Three of these tests can be invoked through
either a telnet session to the HP E3472A/73A Emulator or through a
terminal emulator on the RS-232 port. The LAN tests can only be executed
through the RS-232 port. The HP E3472A/73A Emulator provides the tests for
each of the emulation controller and emulation probe, enabling you to easily
isolate a faulty device.
The remainder of this section assumes that the tests are being run from a
terminal emulator connected to the RS-232 port. When using a terminal
emulator via LAN, configure the emulator using the DIP switches.
Test procedure for the emulation controller
Procedure
Dismount the power supply from the emulation controller.
1
Remove the emulation probe.
2
Disconnect the 50-pin ribbon cable and AUX power cable.
Set all of the DIP switches to CLOSED.
3
This is standard RS-232 at 9600 baud which can be connected directly to a 9
pin RS-232 interface that conforms to the IBM PC-AT 9 pin standard.
Loop-back the BREAK IN and TRIGGER OUT BNC connectors by
4
connecting a coaxial cable between them.
Connect the E3496-66502 loop-back board to the 50-pin connector.
5
To execute the LAN feedback tests, disconnect the LAN BNC
6
connector from the network and terminate with two 50 ohm
terminators on a tee.
