PSE to RRX + DTX Datapath Diagnostic

The PSE to RRX + DTX Datapath Diagnostic tests the ability of the IXG to send sequence bus data to the DTX and RRX modules. All of the sequence bus data registers of the RRX and DTX modules are tested to ensure they capture the correct data from the sequence data stream. The AGP board runs the test.

Boards tested on standard systems:

• IXG

• DTX-1

• RRX-1

• RRX-2

For MNS systems, additional boards are tested:

• DTX-2

• Upconverter

• ERF (if present)

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.

   note:

   Do not change the Test Options settings from their default settings unless instructed to do so by a GE Healthcare engineer. These settings rarely need to be changed.

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.

Test Status

This window informs you of the progress of the test from the initial scan to the completed diagnostic.

If the RRX, IXG, or AGP board is replaced, no calibration is needed.

If the DTX-1 board is replaced, run these calibrations:

• Body and Head Maximum Power Setup and Calibration

Before scanning, perform a TPS reset.
