- HELP
EVCKF is the last of six Repair Level Diagnostics for the
CIBCI. It is comprised of fourteen tests. All the tests run in
the default section.
To run EVCKF, boot in the VAX 8200/8300, 8800
compatible Diagnostic Supervisor. (For VAX 8200/8300
use EBSAA and for VAX 8800 use EZSAA)
Each time information is desired on keywords
it is necessary to type HELP EVCKF 'keyword'.
- ATTACH
BI Node Number: [hex 0-F] determined by address plug on BAC
BR Level: [4-7]
CI Node Number: [dec 0-255] switch select on Link Bd
Example: For VAX 8200/8300
ATTACH CIBCI HUB PAA0 2 4 14 ; BI node 2, BR level 4, CI node 14
SELECT PAA0 ; selects device to be run
Example: For VAX 8800
ATTACH NBIA HUB NBIA0 0 ; logical unit 0
ATTACH NBIB NBIA0 NBIB0 1 0 ; BI #1, BI node 0
ATTACH CIBCI NBIB0 PAA0 2 4 0 ; BI node 2, BR level 4, CI node 0
SELECT PAA0 ; selects device to be run
- SECTIONS
Sections names have been generated for tests that test
common hardware and/or similar functions. The user can run
any individual section by typing START/SECTION:SECTION NAME
The following sections are available in EVCKF:
INT_MLOOP - Internal Maint. Loop Tests
EXT_MLOOP - External Maint. Loop Tests
- MICRO_LOOPING
Most of the tests employing the use of custom microcode
routines have the ability to loop on the microcode by
setting Event Flag #6, prior to starting the desired test.
This action sets a ULOOP bit in a Local Store Location
causing the test to execute a Diagnostic Supervisor abort
(to stop the macrocode but allow the CI750 microcode to
loop on the desired test. It is necessary to clear Event
Flag #6 before proceeding to run any other test in the
normal procedure. Note that ulooping is not applicable
to all tests, and could cause misleading results. Check
the test header and test ucode for additional information.
To set Event Flag 6, type 'SET EVENT 6'.
To clear Event Flag 6, type 'CLEAR EVENT 6'.
- EVENT_FLAGS
EVCKF is affected by Event Flags 6,7,8, and 10.
For information on each event flag type
'HELP EVCKF EVENT_FLAGS n' where n is 6,7,8, or 10.
- 6
EVENT FLAG 6 is used for micro-looping.
To set Event Flag 6, type 'SET EVENT 6'.
To clear Event Flag 6, type 'CLEAR EVENT 6'.
Type 'HELP EVCKF MICRO_LOOPING' for more information.
- 7
Event Flag 7 should be set if the Extended Header Jumper
is installed. This affects Test 13, (Acknowledge Timeout
Test).
- 8
Event Flag 8 should be set if the Extended Acknowledge Timeout
jumper is installed. This affects Test 13, (Acknowledge
Timeout Test).
- 10
Setting Event Flag 10 will allow up to 64 no response retrys
when running Tests 9 and 10, (External Maint. Loop Path Tests).
- QUICK
The QUICK feature is not implemented in this diagnostic.
The diagnostic execution time for EVCKF is 42 secs for VAX 8800
and 68 secs for VAX 8200/8300.
- SUMMARY
The Summary report gives an error count by test number. No report is
generated if there were no errors.
