The UPM functional check runs a prescribed scan in the forward power. It compares the measured RF power from the UPM to the expected value stored in the UPM configuration file.
Procedure
Make sure the RF enable switch is in the DISABLE (down) position.
For body channel 1, disconnect J4 and J22, connect the dummy load to J4, and connect the 3/16 inch wavelength stub cable to J22.

Set the RF enable switch to the On position.
Press Landmark. Then, advance to scan. A phantom is not needed.

Click Yes when the prompt asks if the hardware setup is correct.
Review the system prompts as they are shown during test execution.
This functional check takes 2 to 3 minutes before any user interaction is required. Functional check tests include: 10-second average power check, RF inhibit test, and short-term average power fault host trip test.
Look for a dialog box about the UPM tripping and a power trip error message.
If the UPM does not trip, recheck the calibration connections and repeat the functional check.
From the CSD, open the error log. Make sure the error log contains the message that the UPM has detected a power fault on Body Short Term Average.
If the error is shown in the log, the functional test has passed. Click Yes on the dialog box.
