Diagnostics
The following describes a limited diagnostic program for the HP E1432A,
HP E1433A, and HP E1434A. It is to be run from an HP-UX host. The
program is called “hostdiag.” It can be found with the HP E1432A Host
Interface Software Library at location /usr/e1432/bin.
location: /usr/e1432/bin
Usage: hostdiag [-hPsuvV] [-f file] [-L laddr] [-S slot] [-O list]
-h
Does a quick, partial test by bypassing the tests which involve downloading
code to the module.
-f file
Uses “file” as the source of code to download to the module instead of the
default sema.bin.
-L logical_addr
Specifies the logical address of the module to be tested. The default value
is 8.
-O option_list
Tests the module against a list model/options. For example -O
“E1432,1DE,AYF” tests the module as an 8 channel E1432A with the
tachometer option. Without this option, hostdiag only tests what it finds
present. Hardware which has failed in such a way that it appears to be
absent will not be detected without this option.
-P
Prints only a pass/fail message - no diagnostic printouts.
-s
Additionally runs the “standard input/output” tests. Sources finish testing
with 1 VPk, 1 KHz sine on each output for manual verification of output
functionality. Input testing (both HP E1432A and HP E1433A inputs and
the Tachometer input) assumes 1 VPk, 1 KHz sine input on each channel.
This allows testing of additional portions of the signal path which
inaccessible from the internal tests.
-S vxi_slot
Test the module in the vxi slot, vxi_slot. Default is to test the module at
logical address 8.
