SYSTEM DIAGNOSTICS
A new System Diagnostics mode has been added to aid the user in finding
system problems in his installation.
message for each of the modules in the 4025 is displayed on the character
inserter when the HELP key is pressed. (This function is not available from
any format menu screen.) These messages are designed to give the user
additional explanations about system level problems. They are NOT a
replacement for the manual. Press the HELP key again or the CLR key to
return to clear the help message screen and return to normal operating
mode.
The messages display the most recent problem which occurred in the
module, and are only reset when they have been viewed. This enables the
user to look at probable causes for problems which may have occurred
some time earlier. The message may be hours old or brand new.
When installing the unit, or adding an upgrade, it is recommended that the
HELP screen be viewed when the telecine is in STOP. This will help
discover possible wiring problems, or mode settings that are mismatched to
your current configuration. Transitory problems which may have occurred
during power up should be cleared first by viewing the HELP screen. If
these problems persist, they will remain in the HELP screen when it is
viewed again.
When you are trying to resolve difficulties that only occur in PLAY, (e.g.
counting sequence, or KeyKode related problems), view the HELP screen
when you first enter PLAY to clear any existing messages. View the HELP
screen again before leaving PLAY mode to display the messages related to
PLAY speed functions.
The following sections outline the current messages that you may find for
each module, and give a brief explanation of the problem, and what should
be done to correct it.
note
Note that although some messages may appear similar for different
modules, the interpretation of them may be different, depending on the
module generating the error message.
