Perform System Initialization
Perform System Initialization
In this section, inspect initialization of the system.
Launch the pre-installed Agilent E5023A Measurement Software and confirm if the system
can initialize itself properly in the initialize routine of the program. This achieves by
calling initialize function at the beginning of the program.
Start the program and watch for the following events in this order.
1. Select
Start - Programs - Agilent Hard Disk ReadWrite Test System - Test
Environment (RunTime Version)
from the task bar of Window 2000 to launch the
program.
2. Agilent E5023A Measurement Software Main Menu will appear and start to initialize
the system. Until initialization is completed, the menu is inactive.
3. The spinstand (E5013A) starts homing to initialize itself. In homing, the stage moves to
an end of stage travel where the limit switch is turned on, then initialize the position.
The stage is fixed by the servo motor after homing. The T-plate stage starts homing
first, and the puck stage is next. (For the E5010C Spinstand, the HLM stage starts
homing first, and the spindle stage is next.)
4. After the initialization, HGA Parameter Setup dialog box will appear. Click
Close.
5. The
Configuration and Measure buttons become active. It takes about 60 seconds for
the program to initialize.
If the system initialization is not completed correctly, continue the trouble isolation to refer
Table 2-2.
If the diagnostics detects a failed function during the system initialization, the following
error message appears in the PC monitor. Then, reboot the E5023A once, and perform the
self test again. If the same error message appears, check and to replace a defective cable or
instrument by following to Table 3-2.
