ZTMA - TS03/TE/TU10 instruction test ABSTRACT: This test will test all registers, tape motion, data transfers, extended memory and (if selected) manual intervention test. HARDWARE REQUIREMENTS: PDP-11 computer with 4KW of memory, TMB11 control unit and one TS03 tape unit OPERATING PROCEDURES: 200 start/restart program - load program into memory - place one tape unit on-line at loadpoint, write enabled, unit 0 selected - load address 200 - clear console switches - press start - program will type "SET SW0 = 1 IF 7 CHANNEL" - if 7 channel-drive set SW0, press CONTINUE SWITCH SETTINGS: SW 15=1 (100000) halt on error SW 14=1 ( 40000) scope loop SW 13=1 ( 20000) inhibit error type out SW 12=1 ( 10000) inhibit subtest iteration SW 11=1 ( 4000) single pass SW 10=1 ( 2000) inhibit manual intervention test SW 09=1 ( 1000) TS 03 tape drive SW 00=1 ( 1) 7 channel tape unit RUN TIME: Without manual intervention test, 1 minute. NOTES: Error printouts have this layout: PC STATUS COMMAND BYTE CA DATAB READL TEMP CRCCAL ZTMH - TS03/TE/TU10 multidrive data reliability exercise ABSTRACT: This program will test all tape drive functions such as write, read, rewind, tape positioning, EOT - BOT sensing and assumes a good controller. HARDWARE REQUIREMENTS: PDP-11 computer with 8KW of memory, TMB11 control unit and 1-8 TS03 tape units OPERATING PROCEDURES: start/restart addresses: 200 initial start, all parameters 204 restart, last pattern used 210 restart, original pattern 240 auto sequence mode - load program into memory and start program (200 or 240) - set desired switches - load address 200 - answer the questions: register start= 172520 vector address= 224 unit number= (0-7) density= (0-3) (3=800BPI, 9CH) parity= (0 or 1) unit number= (0-7) record count=100 (1-177777) character count= 200 (4-4000) pattern number= 1 (0-20) tape mark= 0 (0 or 1) single pass= (0 or 1) enter stalls read= 1 } write= 1 } each incr. is about turn around=1 } 2,6 µSec. SWITCH SETTINGS: SW 15=1 (100000) halt on error SW 14=1 ( 40000) yozzle on current block SW 13=1 ( 20000) do not check data errors SW 12=1 ( 10000) do not check write status SW 11=1 ( 4000) do not check read status err. SW 10=1 ( 2000) do not print errors SW 09=1 ( 1000) rewind all tapes SW 08=1 ( 400) random data SW 07=1 ( 200) random character count SW 06=1 ( 100) random record count SW 05=1 ( 40) yozzle current record SW 04=1 ( 20) print statistics SW 03=1 ( 10) do not read SW 02=1 ( 4) N/A SW 01=1 ( 2) disable retries SW 00=1 ( 1) do not write NOTES: Recommended switch setting SW 6, 7, 8 = 1 to randomize test. ZTSE - TS03/TMA11/TMB11 drive function timer ABSTRACT: This test assists in testing the controller and the tape drive. Operations are executed and timed. There is no limit or error testing facilities. The decision on the validity of times measured must be made by the operator. HARDWARE REQUIREMENTS: PDP-11 computer with 4KW of memory, TMB11 control unit and 1-2 TS03 tape units OPERATING PROCEDURES: 200 start/restart program - load program into memory - set desired TS03 on-line - load address 200 - press start - enter starting register address - if speed test only, enter 1 (and mount a 800 BPI skew tape) for all others enter a 0 - program will begin timing functions. On completion the processor will halt. - To repeat test, press continue. SWITCH SETTINGS: None. ZTSF - TS03/TMA11/TMB11 supplemental instruction test ABSTRACT: This program is intended to be used in addition to the TM11/TU10 instruction test (DZTMA). It only checks the data transfers at odd byte address and operation incomplete time out. HARDWARE REQUIREMENTS: PDP-11 computer with 4KW of memory, TMA11 or TMB11 control unit and 1-2 tape units OPERATING PROCEDURES: 200 start program 210 restart program - load program into memory - place desired tape unit on-line at loadpoint - load address 200 - set console switches to desired test sequence - press start - program will type identification header then request for unit# (0=default) to test SWITCH SETTINGS: SW 15=1 (100000) halt on error SW 14=1 ( 40000) loop on error SW 13=1 ( 20000) inhibit error printouts SW 12=1 ( 10000) inhibit iterations SW 11=1 ( 4000) continuous cycle SW 10=1 ( 2000) halt after current test SW 2-0=1 select test number (1-4) (0=all) RUN TIME: Approx. 1,25 minutes.
