Pressing "m" toggles the test mode between manual and automatic. In
manual mode, the user manually increments or decrements the internal
send/return bus channel to be tested (range 01-16), allowing a specific
bus channel to be targeted for testing. This mode might be used to
check for a possible defective internal bus channel, or when the external
cable installation is being checked for continuity and it is unnecessary to
deal with any of the Pathfinder's internal circuitry. Automatic mode
sequentially scans all 16 internal send/return bus channels and tests all
possible crosspoint matrix combinations for the I/O module channel
being tested. This constitutes a complete and thorough check of all
internal wiring and circuitry affecting the selected I/O channel, and a
passed test will guarantee proper functionality of that channel.
c - Card I/O Channel select
Pressing "c" increments the Input or Output Module's I/O channel
between A, B, C , and D, allowing the user to select one of the four
channels on each I/O module to be tested.
s - Send channel increment
Pressing "s" increments the internal send bus channel (range 01-16),
allowing the user to select a specific bus channel for testing in Manual
test mode or where to start testing in Automatic mode.
S - Send channel decrement
Pressing "S" decrements the internal send bus channel (range 01-16),
allowing the user to select a specific bus channel for testing in Manual
test mode or where to start testing in Automatic mode.
r - Return channel increment
Pressing "r" increments the internal return bus channel (range 01-16),
allowing the user to select a specific bus channel for testing in Manual
test mode or where to start testing in Automatic mode.
R - Return channel decrement
Pressing "R" decrements the internal return bus channel (range 01-16),
allowing the user to select a specific bus channel for testing in Manual
test mode or where to start testing in Automatic mode.
i - Initiate test /continue test /pause test
Pressing "i" after setting up the test parameters and plugging in the
loopback connector, will start running the selected test. A test run in
Manual mode will complete almost instantly since there is only one send
and return channel to be tested. The response section in the terminal
display window should update and first show "Testing" in the Status
column, then it should update again to show "Passed". If the display
shows "Failed", check that the loopback connector is wired properly and
