Directions for performing power- up tests and the logic
acquisition card's manual performance verification tests
(against the specifications listed on
this chapter.
The logic analyzer is considered performance- verified if the
power- up tests, the self- tests, and the manual performance
tests have passed. The procedures in this chapter indicate
what constitutes a "Pass" status for each of the tests.
The logic analyzer automatically performs power- up tests
when you apply power to the instrument. Any errors are
reported in the boot dialogue. Serious errors will interrupt
the boot process.
The power- up tests are designed to complement the
instrument on- line Self- Tests. Tests that are performed
during powerup are not repeated in the Self- Tests.
A keyboard and mouse must be connected to the logic
analyzer to observe the results of the power- up tests.
1
Exit all logic analysis sessions.
2
Press the power switch for about 1 second and release,
wait for the unit to power off.
After a few seconds, turn the power switch back on.

Observe the boot dialogue for the following:
•
Ensure all of the installed memory is recognized.
•
Any error messages.
•
Interrupt of the boot process with or without error
message.
A complete transcript of the boot dialogue is in chapter 8,
"Theory of Operation."
