Software Product Description
PRODUCT NAME: VAX 11/780 DIAGNOSTICS EXTENDED, Version 1
DESCRIPTION:
VAX-111780 Diagnostics Extended is a set of programs that allow a customer to enhance th.e selfmaintenance of his system. These are extensions to
the standard diagnostics. These tools are CPU MICRODIAGNOSTICS and SUPERVISOR SCRIPTING.
MICRODIAGNOSTIC PROGRAM

The CPU MICRODIAGNOSTIC package is a tool to
help repair the CPU, memory and floating point parts
of the system. The MICRODIAGNOSTIC package detects faults at the micro level, with isolation to a single
module or one of two modules. The MICRODIAGNOSTIC package executes with the MICRODIAGNOSTIC monitor running in the VAX 11/780 LSI-11
console. The console RX01 floppy diskette drive provides storage for the extensive MICRO DIAGNOSTIC
test overlays. The program will detect stuck highllow
logic problems. The microdiagnostic tests are organized in a bootstrapping sequence (i.e., building
blocks) of the console interface, data path hardware,
SBI-Cache-Translation Buffer, I-Stream Buffer, SBI;
and the memory controller, arrays, and FPA. All detected faults result in error typeouts indicating the
smallest set of modules to which the program can
isolate the failure.
DIAGNOSTIC SCRIPTING

The scripting capabilities of the diagnostic supervisor
allow a user to invoke standard test sequences by
referencing a command file on the disk that contains
this sequence. Also, the script feature allows the user
to configure the system prior to any diagnostic run.
This is done by referencing a command file with
specific configuration commands. The script files may
be constructed using a text editor.
