Diagnostic Self Test

A: If the Silicon Explorer window is open but it is not
connected or powered up, then the system is constantly
timing out looking for a response. Either close the Silicon
Explorer window or change the COM port to DEMO.
The Silicon Explorer includes a test header for the Probe Pilot to
perform functional tests of the I/O drivers. If you suspect that
your Probe Pilot has a failed I/O driver, then you can perform
the following test.
1. Connect the supplied ribbon cable from the Probe Pilot,
or Probe Pilot Lite, to the test header and apply power
to the terminals on the test header (Red is positive —
Black is negative).
2. Disconnect the target cable assembly and snap the 2mm
header into the end of the Probe Pilot, observing
polarity (not applicable on Probe Pilot Lite).
3. For both Silicon Explorer and Silicon Explorer Lite:
From the Analyze window, with the status IDLE, select
the Self-Test command from the Help menu to perform
testing on the Probe Pilot port.
4. For Silicon Explorer Lite: From the Explore window
select the Self-Test command from the Help menu to
perform testing on the Probe Pilot port.
