Overview
The Resident Test Program, described in Chapter 4, con-
tains a Diagnostic Monitor as the main troubleshooting
mode. This monitor also allows you to display a list of
error messages relating to failures which may have oc-
curred during the self test or cyclic test modes of the pro-
gram. By using this feature of the monitor, you can
communicate to an Instron service representative the ex-
act nature of a failure, thus expediting repair procedures.
Displaying Error Messages
If the Self Test Routine detects a failure, the result appears
on the Main Panel Display. This result remains on the dis-
play, and normal operation cannot be started. To determine
the type of failure, start the Diagnostic Monitor by pressing
"S1". The word "HELP" appears on the display, which is an
acronym for the four types of commands the monitor pro-
vides: Help, Error, Look, Put. The Error command lists the
errors found for each functional section of the console during
Self Test.
Note
8-4
When "HELP" displays, if you repeat pressing
[ENTER] the command type advances until "L"
and "P" alternate. If you repeat pressing [REJ], the
previous command type appears until "H" and "E"
alternate. Help, Look and Put commands are
for use by trained personnel and are beyond
the scope of this manual.
