- HELP
EVAAD is a level 2R laser printer diagnostic, which runs under VMS, and
uses the VMS terminal driver.
- DEVICE
EVAAD is a functional test of the LN03 laser printer. The program
consists of eighteen (18) tests, all requiring operator inspection or
interaction.
- DESCRIPTION
This program is a functional test of the LN03 laser printer. It
consists of 18 tests, all requiring operator inspection or interaction.
This program is not designed to test the DZ11 or DMF32 controllers
specifically. The program is capable of testing multiple units in a
parallel manner. A ll selected tests are executed for all units at the
same time. If a particular unit fails, the operator is informed, and
the unit is dropped until the next pass begins. Tests consist of
patterns which must visually be inspected for error detection.
Sequencing thru the tests will be determined by operator selection of
QUALIFICATION, FUNCTIONAL, MANUAL or DEFAULT sections.
- ATTACH
The following are examples of loading the supervisor:
$ RUN ENSAA ; For (11/730) START SUPERVISOR
or
$ RUN ECSAA ; For (11/750) START SUPERVISOR
or
$ RUN ESSAA ; For (11/780) START SUPERVISOR
Before attaching and selecting the device you wish to test, first load
the diagnostic.
DS> LOAD EVAAD
Once the diagnostic and the diagnostic supervisor have been loaded, the
device you wish to test has to be attached and then selected. There are
two ways in which this can be done. The first way is by using the prompt
mode and the second way is the explicit (no prompt) mode. Examples are
shown below.
PROMPT MODE
DS> ATTach
DEVICE TYPE? DW7XX ;where XX=80 for 11/780
; XX=50 for 11/750
; XX=30 for 11/730
DEVICE LINK? HUB
DEVICE NAME? DW0
TR? 3
BR? 4
DS> ATTach
DEVICE TYPE? DZ11
DEVICE LINK? DW0
DEVICE NAME? TTA
CSR? 760010
VECTOR? 300
BR? 5
MODULE TYPE? EIA < or 20 MA>
DS> ATTach
DEVICE TYPE? LN03
DEVICE LINK? TTA
DEVICE NAME? TTA0 < or TTA1,....,TTB0,TTB1,....,OPA0>
DS> SELect TTA0
EXPLICIT MODE
For DZ11:
DS> ATTach DW7XX HUB DW0 3 4 ;where XX=80 for 11/780
; XX=50 for 11/750
; XX=30 for 11/730
DS> ATTach DZ11 DW0 TTA 760010 300 5 EIA
DS> ATTach LN03 TTA TTA0
DS> SELect TTA0
For DMF32:
DS> ATTach DW7XX HUB DW0 ;where XX=80 for 11/780
; XX=50 for 11/750
; XX=30 for 11/730
DS> ATTach DMF32A DW0 TXA 760414 340 5 EIA 40 19200 INTERNAL NO
DS> ATTach LN03 TXA TXA0
DS> SELect TXA0
A third way to attach the terminal on systems which auto-configure
on startup of VMS is the following :
DS> ATT LN03 HUB TTA0
DS> SEL TTA0
Once the unit under test has been attached and selected, the diagnostic
can be started. There are 2 ways you can start the diagnostic.
Examples are shown below.
EXAMPLE 1.
DS> START/switches
..PROGRAM:EVAAD.................. X TESTS
EXAMPLE 2.
DS> RUN EVAAD/switches
..PROGRAM:EVAAD.................. X TESTS
- DATA-PATTERNS
Complete descriptions of the many test patterns used are given in
the program document for EVAAD.
- SECTIONS
Sequencing thru the tests will be determined by operator selection of
qualification,functional,manual or default sections.
to run the different test sections use the "/SEC:??????" command modifier.
EXAMPLE :
START/TEST:9:10/SEC:MANUAL/PASS:2 <CR>
- EVENT-FLAGS
There are no event flags defined for use in this program.
- QUICK
The QUICK feature is not implemented in this diagnostic.
- SUMMARY
The SUMMARY section is not implemented by this diagnostic.
- ERRORS
Errors are detected by the operator, by observing the printed output
from the lineprinter under test and comparing it to expected data
patterns described in the EVAAA program document.
- REQUIREMENTS
Hardware requirements :
VAX family CPU
Enough memory to run VAX VMS
LN03 laser printer connected to VAX via
DZ11 (RS232) interface
Software requirements :
VAX VMS - Version 3.0 or greater
