O1 Diagnostic Utilities

omemtest
tramtest
dactest
vbltest

These programs (located in ${CHEOPS_BASE}/local/src/diag/o1/) were developed in order to debug the Cheops O1 output modules.


omemtest

This program tests the output module VRAM memory, reporting to the user any errors found. This program will not exit unless an excessive number of errors are found.
( Type CTL-A to reboot and regain control ! )

Usage:

       omemtest [ < module_no>   ]


tramtest

This program performs read/write tests of the O1 module Timing Ram.

Usage:

       tramtest [ -h | -v ]

If -h is specified, only the Horizontal timing RAM is tested. If -v is specified, only the Vertical timing RAM is tested.

NOTE: The output module can be left in a very strange mode by this test. It should be immediately reset, using a utility like the Magic7 monitor "ox" command.


dactest

This program checks the register interface of the three video Digital to Analog Converters on an O1 output module.


vbltest

This is a quick hack that tests the output card interrupts (and the P2 interrupt handling logic !)


omemtest2

Obscure program to the test the rare O2 Output modules.
