TEST STATION READINESS – Confirmation Program

10.0     TEST STATION READINESS – Confirmation Program

10.1          There are two methods of determine system performance they are the selftest and confirmation programs.

10.2          The confirmation program can be executed while logged in the user1 account.  It is recommended that this program be run at least once a day.  This program does not require the use of the system self test fixture.

10.3          Type confirm at the BT-BASIC command line and press the “ENTER” key on the keyboard. 

10.4          The program will begin executing and you will see the BT-BASIC window go blank.

10.5          The following message will appear in the BT-BASIC window:

Confirmation:  xxx of 2232 tests completed.

10.6          The number in value xxx will increment from 1 to 2232 as the test runs.  When the testing is completed the system will restore the default BT-BASIC window, reference figure 7.

10.7          The test status will be displayed on the status line of the BT-BASIC window:

Completed = passed  or    Confirm Failed = failed

10.8          If the confirmation program fails, first manually run the “autoadjust” program.  Then re-try the confirmation program.

Note:   If  confirmation fails, the test system should not be used for production testing until the problem has been corrected.
