Help on 3070 to speed up analysis

Hi. I think it will be better to post each question in a separate thread so it can be replied and solved individually.

I'll try to reply to each question.

Hello guys!

We run HP3070 tests on production line and everytime we have hardware problems it takes a lot of time to solve them.

So I wanted to know if you guys can help me on some questions I have to speed up this proccess:

1 - Is there a way to measure DUT and MPU voltage by BtBasic? So we don't need to disassemble 3070 just to confirm if it's okay.

1.a: Not by BT-Basic, but you can run test 2348 for the MPU from the DGN interface.

On the manual go to:  Troubleshooting > Power Subsystem Troubleshooting > MPU > DC Voltage Incorrect.

 

1.b: For the DUT, the diagnostics also sets the power supplies to different voltages and loads to test them. 

Check Diagnostics > ASRU Card Tests > DUT Power Supply

 

2 - We face a lot of problems with Lost HeartBeat in series 5. Do you guys know if a bad testplan can cause this? Do you have a good practices manual for creating a testplan?

2.a: The lost of heartbeat issue can have a lot of potential causes. Bad Ethernet cabling, Ethernet card configuration, Power Issues, defective Ethernet switch, to name a few. I'll recommend to contact your local hardware up-time support representative to help troubleshoot your issue. 

2.b: Testplans are created automatically by running the command testplan generation in BT-Basic and IPG runs this command during the test development process. Before running the command, create a backup since the command overwrites your current testplan.

The testplan is created based on a file named testmain in your standard directory and it will use the appropriate testmain based on the several keywords on your board's config file, the testorder file and some other sources. You can copy a standard testmain and place it into your board directory to modify it, so next time you run the testplan generation will take your custom testmain instead. 

Keysight updates testmain files based on new technologies en each major software release. It is important that you also update your custom testmains in order to incorporate all new technologies on your board tester. 

3 - Autoadjust routine can be changed? Can I skip or add a function?

Not that I know. 

4 - I know 3070 creates some logs when there's a problem on booting. I searched on help about it but i couldn't find anything to interpret them. Do you have something or guidance about it?

Not that I know. When troubleshooting testhead booting I normally start the command boot from a Korn Shell Window so I can follow step by step what is going on. However I don't think it creates a log. 

 

Thanks in advance,
