Emax Diagnostics and Functional Test Procedures © 1987 E-mu Systems Inc. Page 1 EMAX DIAGNOSTICS The Emax contains a number of on-board diagnostic tests and trim procedures. These can be accessed or read from the front panel without even opening the unit! BOOTPROM DIAGNOSTICS The bootprom diagnostic tests are invoked each time Emax is powered up. The bootprom tests are very simple tests and the results should not be taken as absolute truth. The tests can, however, point a technician into a general problem area before even opening the unit. On power up, all the LEDs are lit. As each test is passed, an LED is turned off. When a test fails, it leaves the LED on, but goes on to the next test. Below is a description of the test that failed for each LED left on. Enter LED: Unable to write to DRAM at location 17FFFH and then read it back. Dynamic Allocation LED: Unable to initialize the LCD. If this test fails, the unit will lock up. Transpose LED: Unable to write a pattern to a page of DRAM (8001-8100) and then read it back. Sequencer LED: Unable to write and read back an E-Chip register. Master LED: Unable to write and then read back a test byte to location 0 of the E-Chip RAM. Preset Definition LED: Wrote command to 1772 Floppy Disk Controller to restore head on the drive, but the drive never reached track 0, or the 1772 never responded. Analog Processing LED: Unable to load software from disk.

Ver Fl Test 6. Panel Test 7. Filter Trims 1. BANK RAM TEST This tests the bank portion of the main processor (32008) RAM. This is the same RAM that the diagnostics are running from, so this RAM probably has to be working in order to be able to test itself! When this test is selected, the display will say: Testing Bank RAM Hint: A good way to remember this is: 2 numbers past the last choice.
