Digital: verifies the integrity of paths from LO chip through the filters to the memory
controller.
•
Serial: verifies the integrity of serial setup path for each board.
•
Memory: fills the entire DRAM then verifies that all the data is correct.
•
Analog: verifies that auto zero adjust is working and that the input is triggering.
•
Clock: verifies that the oscillator is working properly.
•
Fiber: performs five-second internal fiber verification.
