Test APMSKalive (/u/de/cvs/kroot/kss/esi/ktest/QA) APMSKalive.tst v1.2

Author mykland
Last modified by mykland : Thu Nov 19 11:48:32 PST 1998
PREPARATION
You must have permission to move the target stage.
INSTRUCTIONS
CLEANUP
This test leaves the stage in a normal state: no cleanup is needed.
NOTES
This test only attempts to determine whether the stage is minimally 'alive'. It tries to recalibrate the stage, move it to ordinal position 1 and then 2, and check whether any motion took place. It does not test whether motion is correctly completed or reliable.
This test should take about 72 seconds

Test APMSKencoder (/u/de/cvs/kroot/kss/esi/ktest/QA) APMSKencoder.tst v1.5

 Author mykland
Last modified by mykland : Fri Dec 04 13:11:37 PST 1998
PREPARATION
You need permission to move the target stage.
INSTRUCTIONS
CLEANUP
The stage is left in a normal state, no cleanup is required.
NOTES
This stage checks to see whether the motor encoder is functioning. If the motor encoder reading changes during a move from RAW 1000 to RAW 2000, and its relation to the RAW value change is linear, than the stage passes this test.
This test should take about 297 seconds

Test APMSKerror (/u/de/cvs/kroot/kss/esi/ktest/QA) APMSKerror.tst v1.4

 Author de
Last modified by mykland : Fri Nov 20 11:06:05 PST 1998
PREPARATION
You need permission to move the target stage.
INSTRUCTIONS
CLEANUP
This test attempts to move a stage past its software limit. If the limit detection should fail, the stage might be left in an unhealthy state.
NOTES
This test attempts to move first beyond the upper bound of stage motion, then below the lower bound. It checks to see whether this motion was accepted. If the stage is working properly, no motion should have taken place and an ERROR condition should have been generated. The test fails if the error condition is not generated or if the stage attempts to make the move.
This test should take about 59 seconds

Test APMSKfip (/u/de/cvs/kroot/kss/esi/ktest/QA) APMSKfip.tst v

Test APMSKlock (/u/de/cvs/kroot/kss/esi/ktest/QA) APMSKlock.tst v1.1

 Author mykland
Last modified by de : Mon Oct 19 17:22:35 PDT 1998
PREPARATION
You need to get permission to move the target stage.
INSTRUCTIONS
CLEANUP
If this test should fail catastrophically due to a system crash or power hit, the stage might be left LOCKED.
NOTES
This test uses the LCK keyword to lock the stage, then attempts to move it. If the move does not generate an error, then the LCK keyword is not working right and the test fails. The test then unlocks the stage and attempts another move.
This test should take about 71 seconds

Test APMSKposition (/u/de/cvs/kroot/kss/esi/ktest/QA) APMSKposition.tst v1.1

 Author de
Last modified by de : Tue Oct 20 19:23:20 PDT 1998
PREPARATION
Get permission to move ESI. Make sure it is plugged in and lit up. Make sure you can talk to the dispatcher (try a couple of show cmds).
INSTRUCTIONS
none
CLEANUP
none
NOTES
This test checks the accuracy of stage positioning. It moves to each ordinal position of the stage, from both directions and over long and short traverses.It records the error (in raw encoder counts) in position after each traverse. These errors should be systematically negative if the backlash compensation is doing what we think it does.
This test should take about 8781 seconds
DATA FORMAT:
int from, int to, int elaps, int dest, int targ, int actu

Test APMSKstate (/u/de/cvs/kroot/kss/esi/ktest/QA) APMSKstate.tst v1.11

Last modified by mykland : Fri Oct 23 17:59:42 PDT 1998
PREPARATION
You need permission to move the target stage.
INSTRUCTIONS
CLEANUP
If this test were interrupted by a power failure or system crash then the stage might be left in a strange MODE.
NOTES
This test attempts to put the stage through every possible transition between states.
This test should take about 509 seconds

PREPARATION
You need permission to move the target stage.
INSTRUCTIONS
CLEANUP
In the event of a power failure or system crash this test might leave the stage moving or in a strange MODE.
NOTES
This test attempts to Jog the stage at varying velocities, to test the keywords for speed and torque.
This test should take about 57 seconds

Last modified by de : Mon Apr 12 18:01:46 PDT 1999
PREPARATION
You must have permission to turn lamps on and off, move the shutter, and write images to disk.
INSTRUCTIONS
CLEANUP
This test will advance FRAMENO and change infoman keyword values.
NOTES
This test attempts to exercise the exposure functions of the CCD subsystem. It tests shutter function, binning, windowing, and so forth. It is a complicated test and negative results may occur for non-obvious causes other than hardware failure. It is very sensitive to exposure event/phase timing.
This test should take about 226 seconds

You need permission to move the target stage.
INSTRUCTIONS
CLEANUP
In the event of a power failure or system crash this test might leave the stage moving or in a strange MODE.
NOTES
This test attempts to Jog the stage at varying velocities, to test the keywords for speed and torque.
This test should take about 85 seconds

PREPARATION
You must have permission to move the target stage.
INSTRUCTIONS
CLEANUP
This test leaves the stage in a normal state: no cleanup is needed.
NOTES
This test only attempts to determine whether the stage is minimally 'alive'. It tries to recalibrate the stage, move it to ordinal position 1 and then 2, and check whether any motion took place. It does not test whether motion is correctly completed or reliable.
This test should take about 107 seconds

PREPARATION
You need permission to move the target stage.
INSTRUCTIONS
CLEANUP
The stage is left in a normal state, no cleanup is required.
NOTES
This stage checks to see whether the motor encoder is functioning. If the motor encoder reading changes during a move from RAW 1000 to RAW 2000, and its relation to the RAW value change is linear, than the stage passes this test.
This test should take about 256 seconds

PREPARATION
You need permission to move the target stage.
INSTRUCTIONS
CLEANUP
This test attempts to move a stage past its software limit. If the limit detection should fail, the stage might be left in an unhealthy state.
NOTES
This test attempts to move first beyond the upper bound of stage motion, then below the lower bound. It checks to see whether this motion was accepted. If the stage is working properly, no motion should have taken place and an ERROR condition should have been generated. The test fails if the error condition is not generated or if the stage attempts to make the move.
This test should take about 26 seconds

PREPARATION
You need to get permission to move the target stage.
INSTRUCTIONS
CLEANUP
If this test should fail catastrophically due to a system crash or power hit, the stage might be left LOCKED.
NOTES
This test uses the LCK keyword to lock the stage, then attempts to move it. If the move does not generate an error, then the LCK keyword is not working right and the test fails. The test then unlocks the stage and attempts another move.
This test should take about 81 seconds

This test uses the LCK keyword to lock the stage, then attempts to move it. If the move does not generate an error, then the LCK keyword is not working right and the test fails. The test then unlocks the stage and attempts another move.
This test should take about 50 seconds

PREPARATION
Get permission to move ESI. Make sure it is plugged in and lit up. Make sure you can talk to the dispatcher (try a couple of show cmds).
INSTRUCTIONS
none
CLEANUP
none
NOTES
This test checks the accuracy of stage positioning. It moves to each ordinal position of the stage, from both directions and over long and short traverses.It records the error (in raw encoder counts) in position after each traverse. These errors should be systematically negative if the backlash compensation is doing what we think it does.
This test should take about 244 seconds
DATA FORMAT:
int from, int to, int elaps, int dest, int targ, int actu

PREPARATION
You need permission to move the target stage.
INSTRUCTIONS
CLEANUP
If this test were interrupted by a power failure or system crash then the stage might be left in a strange MODE.
NOTES
This test attempts to put the stage through every possible transition between states.
This test should take about 360 seconds

PREPARATION
You need permission to move the target stage.
INSTRUCTIONS
CLEANUP
In the event of a power failure or system crash this test might leave the stage moving or in a strange MODE.
NOTES
This test attempts to Jog the stage at varying velocities, to test the keywords for speed and torque.
This test should take about 20 seconds
DATA FORMAT:
int spd, int tor, int tsp, int vel, int raw
