Ciprico Rimfire 3880 Manuel D’Utilisation

The Diagnostic/Self-Test command duplicates most of the tests performed at 
power-up. You can select which tests will be performed. The command returns 
a special Status Block with testing results.

This command writes test data into board memory.

The adapter will not execute the Diagnostic/Self-Test command until it 
completes all preceding commands in order to avoid writing over valid data in 
memory. Also, the adapter will not accept other commands while it is executing 
Diagnostic/Self-test. When the testing is done, the adapter will service all 
pending Channel Attentions.

The Parameter Block for the Diagnostic/Self-test command has this format:

Each field of the Diagnostic/Self-test Parameter Block is described below:

The Command Identifier field is used to identify the Status Block associated 
with a Parameter Block. It must be a unique value.

This field identifies the type of command being issued. This is a Board-control 
command. The value in this field must be FFH.

This field is used to determine which of the RF3880 board tests will be 
performed.

 - This test performs a CRC of all bytes programmed 

in the EPROMs, compares it to the CRC stored in the highest EPROM memory 
location, and reports the result in a Status Block.
