If an error code is being displayed by the HP 8 1 12A you must press
a key,
for example, t o return the microprocessor t o normal
operation before troubleshooting.
•
The component layouts and locators for the microprocessor board
A3, the keyboard A4 and the display board A5 are at the end of
the chapter.
To carry out signature analysis the microprocessor must be set to
a free-running routine in which it increments through all addresses
continuously. To set the microprocessor to free-run:
1 . Move the jumper on J4 to the free-run position.
2. Disconnect the W4, (the cable to the Control Board) to force NMI
high.
3. Reset the microprocessor by shorting TP RES to ground (the pin
beside TP RES) for a short time
When you have finished testing, return the jumper on J4 to its
normal position and reconnect W4.
The address bus drivers and decoders can be checked using signature
analysis.
1. Set the microprocessor to free-run as described in "Free Running
Signature Analysis" and connect the signature analyzer probes as
given in Table 10.7-2.

2. Verify the reading at micropro5 V supply is is 0003.
If
it
is not, the microprocessor is not free-running.
3. Use the data probe to check the signatures given in Table 10.7-3:
