1.0 ABSTRACT
The purpose of

the RSX tasks

is the selection and control of

contemporary LSI11/1P300 diagnostics through a host system task.
These diagnostics are down-Line

loaded thru an 1SB11/1Sv11

to an LSIT1, run in a3 stand-alone environment and monitored
by the host task in a real=-time environment.
The tasks will provide utilities to allow a Field Service

Engineer to perform first Llevel diagncsis from the host
system,

remote

subsystem,

to call

execute stand-alone type diagnostics

and

utilizing the coaglete RSX11M/Dataway hardware as though

were merely an XXDP media.

Additionally, the tasks will allow an cperator to perform
limited modifications to diagnostic “‘image’’ files.

The purpose of

The

although it is expected
to find most faults, it
is not and cannot
be expected to be as comprehensive a testing process as that

It does provide, however, an efficient method for fField

The process, which can be initiated in several ways,

wutilizes
