1-1.
Signature troubleshooting supplements the basic functions of the Troubleshooter. This
method of troubleshooting is used in situations where the test functions of the
Troubleshooter alone do not provide adequate results. This situation usually exists when a
fault occurs in a circuit area that operates asynchronously with respect to the processor. In
this case, the troubleshooter cannot detect the fault since it is able to examine only
processor-synchronous events.
Although the Troubleshooter may not have “visibility” or access into some areas of the
UUT, it is usually able to stimulate all functional areas in a consistent and repetitive
manner, This type of stimulus is required to take meaningful signatures. The ability of the
Troubleshooter to stimulate the UUT makes it an effective tool for signature-type fault
isolation methods.
The Asynchronous Signature Option 9000A-006 provides additional Troubleshooting
capability for the 9000A series Troubleshooters by using signature-type fault-isolation,
events counting, and test-node waveform capture. Control signals from the UUT establish
the signature and allow asynchronous operation with respect to the microprocessor bus
cycle, i.e., the Pod.
The Asynchronous Signature Option takes signatures at UUT test nodes operating at clock
speeds up to 20 MHz. For counting events, the number of data transitions appearing at the
probe are accumulated up to a total of 16,777,215.
A waveform display feature permits the Troubleshooter to display a representation of the
data appearing at the data probe. The waveform feature is useful for determining the time
interval between two signal transitions. The waveform displayed shows the last 640
nanoseconds of data received by the probe before the signature-gathering operation is
terminated. The display shows logic high, logic low, and tri-state levels.
During troubleshooting operations, the Troubleshooter display notifies the operator of all
test conditions and values. The basic functions of the Troubleshooter, in conjunction with
a suitable Interface Pod, provide the necessary stimulus for the UUT during signature
troubleshooting operations.
All of these features may be accessed while operating the Troubleshooter in the immediate
mode by using the keyboard and display. All features may also be accessed by the use of
test programs that pass control and test results through registers.
