•
Automatic
(by communication with the television):
ComPair can automatically read out the contents of the
entire error buffer. Diagnosis is done on I2C level. ComPair
can access the I2C bus of the television. ComPair can
send and receive I2C commands to the micro controller of
the television. In this way, it is possible for ComPair to
communicate (read and write) to devices on the I2C
busses of the TV-set.
•
Manually
(by asking questions to you): Automatic
diagnosis is only possible if the micro controller of the
television is working correctly and only to a certain extend.
When this is not the case, ComPair will guide you through
the faultfinding tree by asking you questions (e.g.
Does the
screen give a picture? Click on the correct answer: YES /
NO
) and showing you examples (e.g.
Measure test-point I7
and click on the correct waveform you see on the
oscilloscope
). You can answer by clicking on a link (e.g.
text or a waveform picture) that will bring you to the next
step in the faultfinding process.
By a combination of automatic diagnostics and an interactive
question / answer procedure, ComPair will enable you to find
most problems in a fast and effective way.
Beside fault finding, ComPair provides some
additional
features
like:
•
Up- or downloading of pre-sets.
•
Managing of pre-set lists.
•
If both ComPair and SearchMan (Electronic Service
Manual) are installed, all the schematics and the PWBs of
the set are available by clicking on the appropriate
hyperlink.
Example
:
Measure the DC-voltage on capacitor C2568
(Schematic/Panel) at the Mono-carrier
.
–
Click on the 'Panel' hyperlink to automatically show the
PWB with a highlighted capacitor C2568.
–
Click on the 'Schematic' hyperlink to automatically
show the position of the highlighted capacitor.

How To Connect
1.
First, install the ComPair Browser software (see the Quick
Reference Card for installation instructions).
2.
Connect the RS232 interface cable between a free serial
(COM) port of your PC and the PC connector (marked with
'PC') of the ComPair interface.
3.
Connect the mains adapter to the supply connector
(marked with 'POWER 9V DC') of the ComPair interface.
4.
Switch the ComPair interface “off”.
5.
Switch the television set “off” with the mains switch.
6.
Connect the ComPair interface cable with the connector on
the rear side of the ComPair interface (marked with 'I2C')
and the additional ComPair interface cable. Connect the
other side of the additional ComPair interface cable with
the ComPair (or
Service
) connector at the rear side of the
TV.
7.
Plug the mains adapter in a mains outlet, and switch the
interface “on”. The green and red LEDs light up together.
The red LED extinguishes after approx. 1 second while the
green LED remains lit.
8.
Start the ComPair program and read the 'Introduction'
chapter.

Error Codes
The error code buffer contains all errors detected since the last
time the buffer was erased. The buffer is written from left to
right. When an error occurs that is not yet in the error code
buffer, it is displayed at the left side and all other errors shift one
position to the right.
5.5.1
How To Read The Error Buffer
You can read the error buffer in 3 ways:
•
On screen via the SAM (if you have a picture).
Examples:
–
ERROR: 0 0 0 0 0 : No errors detected
–
ERROR: 6 0 0 0 0 : Error code 6 is the last and only
detected error
–
ERROR: 9 6 0 0 0 : Error code 6 was detected first and
error code 9 is the last detected (newest) error
•
Via the blinking LED procedure (when you have no
picture). See “The Blinking LED Procedure”.
•
Via ComPair.
5.5.2
How To Clear The Error Buffer
The error code buffer is cleared in the following cases:
•
By using the CLEAR command in the SAM menu:
–
To enter SAM, press the following key sequence on the
remote control transmitter:
“062596”
directly followed
by the OSD/STATUS button (do not allow the display
to time out between entries while keying the
sequence).
