1 Introduction
FBTEST is a test program for the Base Radio Unit 1 (BRU1) and Base Radio
Unit 3 (BRU3). Two types of user interfaces are available through a serial
communication port. One by a menu-oriented structure where test alternatives
and parameters are selected by stepping through the menus. The other interface
is by command frame input, suitable for automatic testing with computer
supervision over a communication line. In this case, the command frame syntax
is the user interface. This is not described in this document. The test program is
operated using a console terminal, connected to the node, on which the result is
displayed.
A negative test result indicates a hardware fault, but a positive test result does
not guarantee that the hardware is OK. It is not possible to test everything with
this test program.
1.1 Field of Application
There are four main applications for the FBTEST:
Acceptance control of the node hardware
Validating a new node
Trouble-shooting an existing node
Set up of node specific Loader parameters.
The FBTEST Reference Manual covers both the procedures required when
calibrating the node’s components at the factory, and the on-site installation and
commissioning procedures for the BRU1 and BRU3, respectively.
Note: The examples given in this document shows both BRU1 and
BRU3, when they differ.
