4.4.2° COMMUNICATIONS TEST
The purpose of this test is to verify the-integrity of the Datascope Bus and the RS232
Channel. The user will be instructed to jumper the transmit and receive pins together
on the RS232 connector, and to disconnect any Datascope Bus cables. This will allow
both serial communication channels to. transmit data and receive back the data that is
sent.

" COMMUNICATIONS
TEST
The Datascope bus test involves
transmitting values from 0 to OFFh,
then reading back the received
data to verify that all data was cor-.
recily received.
o
The RS232 test involves transmitting the ASCII characters from space to lower case z,
then ver ifying that the received data is the 'same as what was transmitted.
In both tests, if the data i is received incorrectly or if not enough data is received the
test will fail. The RS232 test will fail if the transmit and receive pins are not jumped to-
gether.
The test results will be displayed on the LCD panel as shown in figure 4-8.
