TEST FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION

SEQ 0004

Primary DIS testing, diagnosing and verifying will be

performed
by RSX tasks ut1l1zyne a series of diagnostic
image'' files
on the system disk.
The facility to update

thekcurrent "‘image'' files will be provided

in the diagnostic

task.

The RSX11

tasks and 8080 monitor will provide the operator

with the ability to call and execute stand-alone diagnostics
in the remote subsystem under test with calling facilities and

errorlrepcrt\ng at either 3

local

terminal or

system

console.

3.1

DIS

'ON-LINE' DIAGNOSTIC

This program/procedure will consist of three basic pieces
which
are:
3)
an
RSX1IM
non-privileged task with Limited ''user-mode diagnostic’'
features (i.e., in respect to the 1SB11
driver
only),
b)
a
small

down-line
loadable
8080
based
monitor to facilitate communications
between the F.S.
maintenance
console
and
the
host, and
¢) 3 set of files on the customer's disk, each of which represents
one stand-alone KDF11/LSI111/1P300 diagnostic task in image format.

The image files described
in ''c'’' above will be initially
provided
on
the same distribution media as the RSX11 DIS tasks and will
be capable
of being
updated viapatching facilities built into the RSX task in the
host mode. Operation of this DIS task is in essentially three modes, one
of which is selected immediately after the operator "‘calls'’' the
DIS
diagnostic task (i.e., > RUN (ZKMP).
The three
modes of the task
are:
a) LOCAL DIAGNOSIS MODE
©b) HOST DIAGNOSIS MOCE and c) COMMUNICATION MODE.

Tre Auto-map feature is

planned for

future development.

Host mode will continually

return the user to this mode query for additional input and it
must be used as the exit medium. Local mode will terminate the
task normally when the user specifies from the remote subsystem.
A CNTL 7 input to any Host mode query will return the user to
this mode query. Communication mode is Like the Host but it

LOCAL DIAGNOS]S MODE

The following inputs will be entered on a terminal connected
to the Local DIS being diagnosed by the FS Engineer.

The memory size and an ‘‘at''sign will be printed when the

diagnostic has been successfu lK downloaded into LSl memory.
The system is in ODT mode and the diagnostic can be started

by entering 200G (the standard diagnostic start-up). The
diagnostic will operate as though 1t were in stand-alone XXDP

mode and will print any messages or errors on the terminal.
To halt the diagnostic and re-enter ODT mode, press the 'BREAK''
key.
