13.1.3 To check display
With this diagnostic step the LCD and its control unit are checked for their functionality.
1. Prepare instrument for diagnostic test (see chap. 13.1.2).
2. <LCD env.>
3. <B.light OFF>
Ä The background lighting goes out and so the screen text is only faintly visible.
4. <F4>
The control voltage for the dot matrix is switched off and so the screen is blank.
5. <F1>
Ä The background lighting is switched on and so the screen appears pale blue but with no text.
6. <F3>
Ä The control voltage for the dot matrix is switched on again and so the screen appears in its customary form.
7. <LCD RAM test>
Ä The entire screen memory is checked for functionality. If a defect is found, an error message appears.
8. <Contr. test>
Ä The screen controller is checked for functionality. If a defect is found, an error message appears.
9. <LCD reset>
Ä The screen control system is initialised and so for a short time the whole screen is filled with stars and then goes
back to the previous screen text
10. The test is quit by pressing <QUIT>.
13.1.4 To check keyboard
With this diagnostic step all keys of the keyboard are checked for their functionality.
1. Prepare instrument for diagnostic test (see chap. 13.1.2).
2. <Keybd. tests>
3. <Bounce test>
4. Press all keys once.
Ä The keyboard is shown symbolically on the screen. When a key is pressed, the grey background of that key must
disappear. If a key is pressed repeatedly, a beep sounds. The test recognises if a key bounces, and an error messa-
ge is displayed. The special keys<ALT>, <SHIFT> and <SPACE> feature more than once on the keyboard and
the software is unable to recognise which one was pressed. Regardless of which <SPACE> key, for example, is
pressed, therefore, the one on the far left disappears first, and so on.
5. The test is quit by pressing the <QUIT> key twice.
