Channel Board Drawing The channel board is a kind of signal conditioning board for generating analog signal. It mainly deals with the adjusting of signal parameters such as frequency, amplitude, and so on. Please refer to the following drawing to quickly locate the test points on the channel board for easy resolution of any problems encountered.
Main Board Drawing The main board is the control center of the generator that contains an ARM CPU system. It completes the GUI function, controlling and configuration function of the channel board as well as the user interface. Please refer to the following drawing to quickly locate the test points on the main board for easy resolution of any problems encountered.
Check the Power Supply There are two power connectors through which the channel board and main board can be supplied power. Before performing the power supply testing procedure, please make sure that the generator is grounded correctly through the protective lead of the power cord.
Page 50
6.5 V VL+(yellow) ± 30% -6.5 V VL-(blue) ± 30% If each tested voltage value is within the specified range listed in the table above, then some abnormality of the load is most likely causing the power supply problem. Continuous checking or even replacing the channel/main board is required for further test.
Check the Channel Board If it is desired to remove the channel board from the metal shelf inside the generator, please place it on a clean, insulated mat. Here are the procedures for testing the main board: 1. Several types of connectors are used on the channel board. Check to make certain that all of these are connected properly.
25 MHz Clock Source Checking There is an oscillator chip generating a 25 MHz 3.3 V LVCOMS clock source to the entire channel board. Please check it, referring to the marked point on the channel board drawing. FPGA Checking To check if the FPGA is working properly, please observe the test point marked with FPGA_LED on the channel board drawing.
Check the Main Board If the power board does need to be removed from the metal shelf located inside the generator, place it on a clean, insulated mat. Testing procedures for the main board are as follows: 1. Several types of connectors are located on the main board. Check if all these are connected properly.
ARM CPU System Verification Observe the ARM_LED light on the main board, which indicates the working state of ARM CPU system. If the light turns on, then the corresponding codes have been loaded successfully and the chip is in an operating state. Otherwise, there may be a problem with it.
Quick Guide for General Failures The general hardware failures are described in the following. Reading the following information can help in determining the cause of some general hardware failures: 1. No start-up after pressing the power button: (1) Check if the power cord is correctly connected. (2) Check if the power button is operating correctly.
