Items you should have to test SCSI terminators
•
Cirris Touch 1 Cable Analyzer. 1000 volt unit uses software version 2.51 or later. 1500 volt unit uses
software version 3.01 or later.
•
Scripting option installed on your Touch 1.
•
KSTT-68 SCSI Terminator Adapter Kit (contains adapter with attached cable, floppy disk with soft-
ware, 9-volt DC power supply (RPWR-50).
•
SCSI Terminator Script Disk.
The SCSI Terminator Test Adapter
This adapter provides the needed operating voltage and connections to test SCSI terminators. You install it on the
Touch 1 in the J1-J3 position.
Connect the cable attached to the adapter (it has a 15-pin connector on the end) to the Touch 1’s digital I/O port (see
your Touch 1 Quick Start Manual, or Touch 1 User’s Guide for details on where the port is located). It’s best to route
the cable around the back of the Touch 1 to do this.
Next, you must connect power to the SCSI Terminator Adapter. Plug the DC power supply provided into a standard
electrical outlet. Plug the power supply cable into the jack receptacle on the SCSI Terminator Adapter.
The SCSI Script Disk
On the SCSI Script Disk are several files which are used to generate the test files you’ll need to test SCSI terminators.
There are files on the floppy disk that the Touch 1 cannot copy. Copying the files on this disk to the hard drive will
cause operational errors. Only the wirelist will be copied. Accessing the other files will produce errors. We recom-
mend that you keep the files together on the floppy disk we’ve provided.
What you need to test a SCSI terminator and cable
You must install the SCSI Terminator Adapter in position J1/J3 on the Touch 1. Do not install it in any other scanner
position. The adapter’s cable should be connected to the Touch 1’s Digital I/O port. The power supply should be
plugged into a standard 120-volt wall outlet, and the adapter itself.
Important!
Only one SCSI Adapter should be
installed during a test!
If you are planning to test an entire cable assembly with the terminator, you’ll need the standard adapters that match
the connectors on your cable assembly. These adapters don’t have to be the SCSI Test Adapter style. You may install
as many standard adapters in the Touch 1, as you need to test your cable. Because the length of the cable(s), and the
positioning of the connectors vary, you may need to provide a test fixture to connect between the terminator cable and
the test adapter connection.
What you should know about the SCSI terminator you intend to test
Before you attempt to create a set of test files for testing a SCSI terminator, you must know one or more of these
things:
