The test setup is shown on Figure 7.

LEMO-Dsub9 is marked green.
The complete duration of the test is around
five minutes.
In brief, the operator needs to:
o
mount the FMC masterFIP board onto the SPEC carrier
o
connect the cables between the FMC masterFIP, the USB relay box and the nanoFIPdiag
o
run the software
o
at certain points of the tests an intervention needs to be done by the operator (e.g.: scan the
board’s barcode, check the font panel LED); the interventions are explicitly signaled by the FMC
masterFIP PTS software and this manual.
At the end of the functionality tests the operator receives a PASS/FAIL notification. In case of a FAILED
board, information is provided on the failing components.
All test results are automatically saved in a folder on the computer.
A board is considered to have passed the PTS testing if it has successfully completed all the functionality
tests.
For a FAILED board, you can repeat the test only one more time! If a board FAILs twice, please report to
the CERN responsible.
