Cartridge Cycle Diagnostic

When you select Cartridge Cycle, the library robotics begin to move cartridges
randomly from slot to slot in the magazine, while reporting on the front panel
the number of passes.

This diagnostic will run continuously as long as the Base Module has power.
To stop the test, press the Escape button. A flashing message appears on the
display telling you that the test is paused. Pressing the Escape button a second
time terminates the diagnostic and returns to the Maintenance Menu.

Using the Demo Submenu

The only User Diagnostic is found on the Demo submenu on the Maintenance
Menu. The submenu lists five demos, numbered 1 through 5. At present, only
Demo 1 is implemented. Demo 1 enables the user to fully exercise the library
robotics.

When you select Demo 1, the library robotics begins to move cartridges
randomly from slot to slot in the magazine, while reporting on the front panel
the number of passes. If all ten slots in the magazine are full, Demo 1 will load
a cartridge into DLT0 and leave it there. If you press the

button while

Demo 1 is running, the system will load a cartridge into DLT0, unless DLT0 is
full. If you press the

button again, the cartridge is unloaded from DLT0 and

returned to the magazine. The

button causes DLT1 to be loaded and

unloaded in the same way.

Demo 1 will run continuously as long as the Base Module has power. To stop
the test, press the Escape button. A flashing message appears on the display
telling you that the test is paused. Pressing the Escape button a second time
