4 Troubleshooting and Diagnostics

Recommended Diagnostic Sequence

Several methods can be used for performing diagnostics on the 8K series ProPalette
models. An initial self test is performed when the unit is first turned on, the reset button is
pressed or "Run Startup Diagnostics" is selected from the LCD/keypad. A complete set
of diagnostics, in addition to system alignment, can be performed via the system test
stand. (Refer to ProPalette Test Stand Manual for more information).

Utility Program Summary

Board-level tests and system utilities can be run if the correct software is available and
installed on a host computer. However, the board level tests are not necessary because the
same functions are performed by either the start up diagnostics or the system test stand.
The available utility programs and files are:
Program or File
FPDIAG.EXE
TEST.DAT
MEDTEST.HEX
DIGIOTST.HEX
FLASHMAN.HEX
ERRSTAT.EXE
SN.EXE
The latest versions of all software are backward-compatible and available from the
Service FTP site described in the next section. (Earlier versions had been firmware-
version-specific and would work only with the appropriate version of ProPalette
firmware.)

Connecting to the Service FTP Site

A secure internal FTP site has been established for all CFR service operations. This site is
a temporary repository for files expected to be helpful in performing service operations.
Examples include host-side utilities, diagnostic programs and image files.
