The manual provides instructions on setting up and performing diagnostic tests using the Chipper Check software to evaluate the internal circuitry of the Chipper Check interface box, including data lines, clock lines, and EEPROM. It also offers guidance on troubleshooting hardware issues if a test fails, indicating potential problems with the hardware circuitry or power supply that need correction.
Manual Overview
The Sencore Chipper Check hardware diagnostic tests are designed to evaluate the internal circuitry of the Chipper Check interface box, serial cables, and chassis adapters. The diagnostic process begins with setting up the Chipper Check software on a computer and connecting the interface box using a parallel cable and power adapter. The first test, the Check Data Line Test, examines the data lines that facilitate communication between the interface box and the computer. This test is divided into two parts: testing the Data STBY and Data Run read/write loops. Successful completion of these tests indicates that the data signal paths are functioning correctly. If a test fails, it suggests a hardware issue, potentially related to power supply defects or improper installation of additional circuitry like KIT 1 or KIT 2. The Check Clock Line Test follows a similar structure, assessing the Clock Run and Clock STBY signal paths. Technicians are advised to perform these tests meticulously to ensure all components are free from defects.

Installation / Setup
The installation/setup highlights for the Chipper Check hardware involve connecting the parallel cable between the computer and the Chipper Check interface box, connecting the power adapter to an AC outlet, and ensuring the DCV input connector is connected to the Chipper Check box. The LED on the Chipper Check box should be illuminated. The serial cable should be removed from the output of the Chipper Check box before performing tests. The Chipper Check software must be loaded and operational on a computer, and the diagnostic tests can be accessed by selecting the “Diagnostic” option in the software. The setup includes checking data lines, clock lines, and the EEPROM within the interface box.
Operation
The Chipper Check software is used to perform diagnostic tests on the Chipper Check interface box. These tests check the internal circuitry, serial cable, and chassis adapters. The process involves setting up the Chipper Check software on a computer, connecting the parallel cable between the computer and the interface box, and ensuring the power adapter is connected. The diagnostic tests include checking data lines, clock lines, IM Enable, and EEPROM. The tests verify every input/output signal path and enable path. If a test fails, it indicates a problem with the hardware circuitry or power supply. The Check Data Line Test has two parts, testing Data STBY and Data Run read/write signal paths. The Check Clock Line Test also has two parts, checking Clock Run and Clock STBY signal paths.
