Oh, and while looking in the manual it points out that the DIP switches on the pod must be correct for the CPU used. Also DIP 4 is left in only one position - it's for the self testing process only. You might have a bad pod DIP switch...I've replaced many a DIP switch on game boards or test fixtures...check it with a ohm-meter. John :-#)# At 02:41 AM 25/09/2002 -0500, Mark Shostak wrote:
Rodger/John/All,
For the most part I find that error is a bad connection to the self test socket. Try sliding the plug sideways in the test socket with it partially engaged. This works for me...
I've tried that with mixed results; mainly no go. In fact, generally, if I don't mess with it (as specified above), it won't even go into self test.
You DO put the pod's plug into a 40 pin socket to insert into the UUT don't you?
Um, like I tell my mother - "most of the time".
However, I seem to find this problem either way. The DIP doesn't seem to seat in those ZIFs very well. They seem to rock across the center of the plug (as in, they pivot across the long axis).
Maybe it's just that those ZIFs, at least when combined with the particular DIPs Fluke used, suck. The fact that the pods otherwise (seem to) work perfectly, supports that theory.
Does anyone know what the 00 error is?
