This diagnostic tests the datapath between the PSE and the IXG boards.

• AGP

• IXG

• PSE

AGP, IXG, and PSE boards in the chassis

If the system has the MNS option installed, the PCI bus may include an ERF board. In this configuration, RRX-1 and RRX-2 connect through the ERF board instead of the IXG board. The data acquisition for this diagnostic test performs the same for all configurations.

1. Click Calculate Time to get an estimate of the time it will take to run the selected diagnostics.

   Other than Test Iterations, do not change the Test Options settings from their default settings unless instructed to do so by a GE Healthcare engineer. There are very few circumstances when these settings need to be changed.

2. Click Run.

   The test executes in these steps:

   1. The AGP configures the PSE to play out a PSD with a test data pattern.

   2. The PSE sends the test data out on to the sequence bus.

   3. The IXG captures the data and stores it in a bypass FIFO queue.

   4. The AGP reads the data in the FIFO queue and compares it to the original data.

Test Results

Diagnostic results display the test name with a status of PASS or FAIL. If you receive a FAIL status, click the error number in the 1st Error column to view error message details.
