Troubleshooting Plug-

Performing Plug-In Module Self-Tests
The Agilent V24/V26 Series contains auto-tests and self-tests that are designed to demonstrate
that the monitor is interacting with the plug-in modules.

In order to meet the chapter’s goals, you should be able to perform a plug-in module self-test and
identify the normal outputs of a self-test.
&RQFHSWV
This Agilent patient monitor has a module self-test which generates and displays test waveforms
and corresponding numerics for all the modules that are connected through a rack and turned on.
The test signals are displayed for about 30 seconds and then the display returns to the normal
monitoring mode.
The test signal will be displayed only if the system power-on sequence was successful and the
module is plugged into a rack in the system and turned ON. Perform the following quick system
check to verify that computer module, integral rack and plug-in modules are communicating
properly before verifying the individual parameter modules.

You can verify that the System board, integral rack and modules are communicating properly by
completing the following test.
7(67 Press the ECG key on the front of the ECG module in a system that is turned ON.
5(68/7 Pressing the ECG key brings up the ECG Task Window and verifies that the
System board and integral rack are communicating with the plug-in module.
If the plug-in module Task Window, waveform or numeric is missing from the display, the module
may not be turned ON. Try pushing the key on the plug-in module to see if the system is
communicating with the module. If the ECG module does not respond, perform the module self-
test.
To turn a parameter ON, press the following key sequence:
