Overview of Diagnostics Testplans
The verification strategy incorporates both standard and
optional tests using different testplans. The standard testplan
is shipped with each system. The testplans for the optional
tests are included with the diagnostic test fixtures.
The standard tests verify both the core system instrument
operation and internal test paths. It uses a testplan called
"U8971A_DGN.tpa", simply called "DGN". "DGN" does not
require external hardware, but verifies about 80% of the system
functionality. These testplans are located in directory:
C:\Program Files\Agilent\TS-5000 System Software\testplan\
DGN\
The tests uses the "Customer Engineer Diagnostics" testplans
(file name: "CEDGN *.tpa"), simply called "CEDGN". "CEDGN"
completes the test coverage. It uses optional test hardware that
is supplied with the kit. An understanding of test system
operation and interpreting "CEDGN" test results are required to
execute the tests. These testplans are located in directory:
C:\Program Files\Agilent\TS-5000 System Software\Service\
U8970A\Testplans\
The tests are executed in Agilent TestExec SL and TS-5000
system programming environment, and use both standard and
specialized test actions. The programs can be edited to improve
and/or reduce test coverage. Systems equipped with
non-standard equipment do not have tests incorporated in
either "DGN" or "CEDGN". You have to add tests for those
systems.

Testing Details.
