circuits.
A few preliminary checks could help here. First remove the
Model 3152A from the VXIbus chassis. Turn on the VXIbus
chassis and verify that the supply voltages are available directly
on the backplane sockets. Check the following supplies: +24V,
-24V, +12V, -12V, +5V, and -5.2V. Check the ripple on these
lines using an oscilloscope.
Plug an extension card into one of the slots and plug the Model
3152A into the extension card. Turn the chassis power on and
repeat the supply voltage tests as above. If one of the voltages
is missing or not within the specified range, it is possible that
one of the supply lines is shorted inside the Model 3152A.
Remove the filter chokes L12 and L13 if there are problems on
the +24V or -24V lines; remove L8 or L9 if there are problems
on the +5V or -5.2V lines, or remove L10 or L11 if there are
problems on the +12V or -12V lines.
CPU and VXI ASIC
Checkout
The most important section to be verified after power supply
checkout is the CPU and the VXI ASIC section with its various
clocks, address, data lines, and chip select serial data
communication components. Problems with the digital part
could cause erratic operation or erroneous response to word
serial commands.
Problems in the CPU and the digital circuit may cause a
complete malfunction of the entire instrument. The CPU would
not start generating control signals. This makes it impossible to
troubleshoot the remaining circuits. Check the various
components associated with the CPU circuitry, its clocks, and
the components associated with the VXI ASIC using the
information given in
Table 5-1.
