Backpack EEPROM. This tests the EEPROM (static memory)
in the backpack processor, which contains user-selectable
conguration information, for internal errors or data corruption.
Battery EEPROM. This tests the EEPROM (static memory)
in the battery processor, which contains user-selectable con-
guration information, for internal errors or data corruption.
Firmware Version Compatibility. This test compares the
versions of rmware installed on each of the system proces-
sors, and ensures they are compatible with each other.
Primary Display Backlight. This test measures the amount of
electrical current consumed by the backlight of the Primary
Display, when the backlight is turned on with maximum bright-
ness. After this test has completed, the backlight remains on
for the remainder of the tests.
Battery ROM / RAM / Fuses. This tests the RAM, ROM and
fuse settings of the electronics in the battery processor. The
RAM is tested only by the factory or when new rmware is
installed, and the results used for all subsequent power-up
routines. Other tests are conducted on each power-up routine.
Battery Data logger. This test ensures that the data log
circuitry in the Battery is functional and accessible.
Battery State-of-Charge. This tests the circuitry that calculates
the State-of-Charge (SoC) for the battery, by measuring the
base-level electrical current consumed by the electronics.
Many of the tests that follow this test rely on an accurate SoC
calculation.
