Single Switch Test
When you enter the Single Switch Test , the LCD monitor will display the screen shown in figure B6.
The entire list of dedicated and matrixed switches is shown alongside a window highlighting the
location/state of the currently selected switch on the game’s playfield (at right in figure B6). The
switch is displayed as a small, blinking square; the color of the square represents its current state.
An active switch, regardless of its type, is displayed as a bright green square. An inactive opto
switch is displayed as a light tan (if normally unblocked) or dark tan (if normally blocked) square;
any other inactive switch is displayed as a bright blue (if normally open) or navy blue (if normally
closed) square. A bad switch (a switch that has been inactive for approximately 60 balls played) is
displayed as a red square. Unused positions in the matrix are not displayed in the playfield window.
All switch driver (column) and return (row) numbers are shown, along with corresponding wire col-
ors and I/O Board connector/pin numbers.
You can scroll through the list of matrixed switches, using the Up/+ and Down/- buttons, and select
any switch to test. You can then repeatedly open or close the selected switch, observing the results
in the playfield window. The game also provides an audible response each time the state of the
switch changes. Note: When adjusting a switch, the best method for testing it is to roll a pinball
over it, through it or into it.
To exit the Single Switch Test at any time, press the Back/Escape button.
