MCU Level Tests
When the Falcon diagnostic tool is run at the MCU level, all available tests
are run on all the recognized cards installed on that MCU and their units.
Several MCUs can be tested simultaneously, and their tests run serially.
Card Level Tests
When the Falcon diagnostic tool runs tests on an installed recognized card, it
performs all the available tests on all the card’s component units. You can test
all cards of a certain type, for example, all the Video+ cards. All tests run on
the Falcon diagnostics tool are run serially rather than simultaneously.
Unit Level Tests
At the unit level, tests can be selected individually. A specific test, for
example, the TDM test, can be run on all cards installed on the MCU as long
as each test is initiated individually. The tests run serially.
Video+ CM PCI Scans the PCI to ensure that its
components are working
properly.
Memory Checks buses’ data and
addresses.
Checks memory integrity and
capacity.
TDM Creates a loop between the DSP
through the backplane and the
BCOD then back to the DSP via
the time slot switch to check data
transfer through the loop.
BCOD Checks the watchdog and BCOD
memory.
Proc Memory Checks buses’ data and
addresses.
Checks free memory.
Clock Checks the frequency rate of the
processor.
