1. Systems Support GroupElectronics DivisionAdam Davis RAL 15 Aug 2006 ROD PRR/PPR (CERN) LabVIEW Tests in HDL

2. Systems Support GroupElectronics DivisionAdam Davis RAL 15 Aug 2006 ROD PRR/PPR (CERN) ROD Tests in HDL – Read/write Registers – Read Only Registers – Memories – System Ace – DSS – ROD – DSS – Write Report function – Further tests to be added

3. Systems Support GroupElectronics DivisionAdam Davis RAL 15 Aug 2006 Read/Write Registers – Information stored in Txt File File for names File for location and test bits – Results stored in Txt File – Easily changed

4. Systems Support GroupElectronics DivisionAdam Davis RAL 15 Aug 2006 Read Only Registers Read Only Register Test – Information stored in Txt file Names Location & Value – Results stored in Txt – Easily changed

5. Systems Support GroupElectronics DivisionAdam Davis RAL 15 Aug 2006 Memory Check – Information stored in Txt File Names Location & Memory size – Results stored in Txt file – 55,AA,00,FF pattern – Easily changed

6. Systems Support GroupElectronics DivisionAdam Davis RAL 15 Aug 2006 System Ace – Specific firmware Instructions Checks all 8 configurations Test takes ~84 Seconds

7. Systems Support GroupElectronics DivisionAdam Davis RAL 15 Aug 2006 DSS -> ROD -> DSS DSS ROD DSS – Tests complete loop of 4 GLINKs – User instructions

8. Systems Support GroupElectronics DivisionAdam Davis RAL 15 Aug 2006 DSS -> ROD -> DSS DSS ROD DSS – From DSS GLINK Daughter card to ROD GLINK I/P – Back to DSS from SLINK RTM – Checks 1st packet of information (set of four GLINKS) – Writes a report at end of test

9. Systems Support GroupElectronics DivisionAdam Davis RAL 15 Aug 2006 Microcontroller Non-automated and relies on – Knowledge to check data – Knowledge of tools – Knowledge of TCM to check CAN interface Need to re-think test strategy – Need to automate test – Perhaps simple C program accessing serial port – Look into this and could be used on other modules – To check CAN you need TCM

10. Systems Support GroupElectronics DivisionAdam Davis RAL 15 Aug 2006 Summary Semi-automated test software almost complete Self checking Pass/Fail A few more tests to add Consistent test strategy Anyone in Instrumentation can use software (in project shared area) Automated report can be used as route card Need to spend some time on Microcontroller test
