However, the ‘HiSpeed’ series scanners are principally grouped into four, for which the following notations are given
respectively:
‘NP’, ‘NP+’, ‘NP++’ and ‘Twin’
In this ‘Diagnostics’ manual, these notations NP, NP+, NP++, and Twin are used to describe differences among these
four groups and to make descriptions of this manual read simpler.
(However, ‘Twin’ is further grouped into two, that is, ‘NP+ Twin’ and ‘NP++ Twin’. In general outline,
NP+ Twin systems are NP/NP+ systems with a twin DAS/detector, and NP++ Twin systems are NP++ systems
with a twin DAS/detector. These notations also will be used when required.)
The following table describes the constitution of the major hardware of NP, NP+, NP++, and Twin.

Total Gantry Revolu- Indicates the Gantry rotation numbers in “Status” column. This indication can be reset
tions using getStats (section 1-11). The date when the counter was reset is displayed in “In-
formation” column.
The rotation number is slightly less than the mechanical Gantry rotation counter located
near the TGP board (a few %), because this software counter does NOT read all of G
pulse interrupt.
The data of rotation number is sent to the OC just when the Gantry stops.
Total Tube Spits Indicates total tube spits numbers currently.
This is automatically reset when performing Update system log –> Tube spits (sec-
tion 1-27) at tube replacement.
For the system with V/R 5.5x or later, the two types of warm–up scan can be selected:
D Tube Warm–up: performs tube several warm–up scans. These can achieve 13% case temperature.
D Daily calibration (Warm up): performs conventional tube warm–up scans (tube warm–up scans:30% case
and calibration scans) plus IQ performance measurement scans. (For detail scan protocol, refer to IQ
performance Measurement scan described below.)
So, whenever the daily calibration is performed, the IQ performance data are collected and analyzed automatically,
and the results are stored in the file, then displayed on the “Status” column of the IQ Performance Tool Status. The
“Information” means the date when the status has been determined.
The three types of status are displayed:
D GREEN: displayed when the result is WITHIN allowable specifications. (Also refer to IQ performance tool
specifications.)
D YELLOW: displayed when the result is OUTSIDE OF allowable specifications. There is a possibility to
affect Image Quality. (Also refer to IQ performance tool specifications.)
D RED: displayed when the result is OUTSIDE OF allowable specifications. A serious Image Quality prob-
lem might occur. (Also refer to IQ performance tool specifications.)
Note
The results are stored as a vector file, so that they can also be seen using Scan Analysis, DD file
analysis function. (For mA Smudge and Scan Time Smudge Only, they can not be seen, because
the files can NOT be made.)
The files is stored up to 5MB. In excess of 5MB, the directory of the files will be cleaned up when
executing this tool. Since the vector files of approx. 400 KB per daily calibration are created, 10 days’
data can be stored. However calculation in Scan Analysis reduces data to be stored.

D mA Smudge:
Uses data of Detector/DAS Linearity scan 60mA and 200mA to calculate linearity difference between #25
and #26 (Center) modules of the DAS/Detector and difference between #27 and #26 modules.
How to Calculate:
1. The Mean Vector is calculated after performing the Offset and Reference Correction of each scan data.
2. Differences between modules are calculated using the following equations, then they are compared with
specifications.

Provides a set of view summed Means and Standard Deviation Plots of a scan file. The plotter is started

After Plot MSD is started, a preprocessing option selection window appears:
– Offset Correction:
This processing step removes from the scan data, the signal bias introduced by the acquisition
electronics. This operation is performed on a channel by channel basis for each view.
– Reference Normalization:
Makes use of unobstructed (not blocked by the patient) detector cells at the end of the detector
to adjust for fluctuations in the x–ray beam and effects of aperture size and mA. In the case where
the reference channels are blocked, the system uses an estimated value for the processing. The
steps for Reference Normalizing the scan data involves: Offset Correction for the Reference
Channels, Dividing the Offset Corrected Scan Data by the Averaged Reference Channels for
each view.
– Log Conversion:
The log operation is applied.
– Convolved Data:
This processing step mathematically filters the channel data to remove blurring affects that would
occur when the views are back–projected. The affect is to ‘sharpen’ each channels data value
within the view. Without the convolution step, some of the x–ray attenuation data for a particular
channel ends up in the channels on either side of that particular channel. Convolution puts that
adjacent channel contribution back into the channel data that it should have been in to begin with.

A value is not considered to be out of specification, unless the limit is exceeded for a sustained interval of 100 views
or more. In the cases where specifications are not given, consider plots informational only.
To use the function “Save to File” , need to make a directory named “data” under root. Then after performing Save
to File, plot data is displayed and text file will be stored into data directory as named “TrackingVsScan.txt” (about 15KB
size). But it is not so useful because of text file.
It is recommended to remove the directory “data” after checking the TrackingVsScan.txt file for system stability.
D Collimator Position:
The plot shows the Collimator Position during a scan. Collimator positions are stored in the Scan file (Raw
Data).
The vertical axis shows the pulse count of Z–Axis pulse motor (20mm/pulse).

1. The user may start dd math operation(s) by selecting the file(s) and putting them into the selection field by clicking
the button FILE #1 or FILE #2.
If the selected file is not a dd file, the application will not put it into the dd math operation field. A message window
will pop up and ask user to select a dd file.
If only one file is selected and it is of the file type RTS dd file or MSD dd file, both Ch2Ch (Channel to Channel)
and Ratio (RATIO OF MEANS VS. STDV) will become sensitive.
If the selected file is not of the type MSD or RTS, only Ch2Ch will become sensitive.
When two dd files are selected, + (ADD), – (SUBTRACT), x (MULTIPLY), and / (DIVIDE) become sensitive and
Ch2Ch and Ratio will be insensitive.
2. The user can specify the output file name when the dd file output mode is set. Otherwise a default dd file name
will be provided.
3. The default output scaling factor is 1.0. The user can set the scaling factor to any real number.
4. When the dd math operation buttons are sensitive, the user can select the desired button to start the dd math
operation.
dd Files Generation
There are 18 different dd file types of six orientations. The orientations are View, Channel, RTS, CAL, Elements, and
Header.
Channel oriented means and standard deviation type dd files are the only type that can be created from scan data
files in the Scan Analysis application.

dd Math Functions
dd math consists of the following functions:
D Add
D Subtract
D Multiply
D Divide
Perform: add, subtract, multiply, divide, and channel to channel difference operations on dd files. These operations
are only available for dd file types.
D .add
D .dif
D .mul
D .rat
Operations can be performed on dd files in View orientation, Channel orientation, RTS orientation, and Cal orientation.
Currently, no dd type restrictions are applied to operations between dd files, as long as the dd vectors have the same
number of elements. If one file has a single vector and the other file has multiple vectors the mathematical operation
will be applied multiple times using the single vector.
Otherwise the mathematical operation will be applied component wise for the number of vectors in each file.

If you encounter the trouble related to DAS TRIG signal, it is recommended to try various scan type and resetting
OGP through TGP to identify which path is in failure as followings:
(1) At first, proceed Stationary Scan using Off Line Scan. To make it simplify, data pattern can be set
as DAS pattern, Rotor and X–ray Off and Current Azimuth is suggested. In case you found the failure,
most probable failure is CIF and cabling between CIF and OGP.
(2) Secondly, proceed Scout Scan using Off Line Scan. DAS pattern and Rotor Off is suggested. In case
it does not work, try (4) to check signal line between TGP and OGP. If it does work, most probable
failure is on Cradle Encoder and cabling between this and TGP. On TBLCON BD, there are not any
components for DAS TRIG, but just connect from CN9 to CN1. On TBL BD, there are one component
to change the signal type.
(3) Next, proceed Axial Scan using Off Line Scan. DAS pattern and Rotor Off is suggested. In case it
does not work, try (4) to check signal line between TGP and OGP. If it does work, most probable fail-
ure is on Servo Amp and cabling between Azimuth Encoder and TGP. On SUB BD there are not any
components for DAS TRIG, but just connect from CN5 to CN2.
(4) If you found problem in (2) or (3), try to reset OGP by pushing RESET switch on TGP and check OGP
is corrected reset. After reset correctly, OGP shoud go to IDLE status, which is DS6 on OGP blinks.
If OGP is not reset, DAS TRIG signal line between TGP and OGP has the problem. Between them,
there are cable between TGP and Signal Brush board, Slip Ring, Signal CONN board and cable be-
tween Signal CONN and OGP. In this case, it is suggested to change Signal CONN board tentatively
at first because there is another one on backside of Slip Ring, which is exactly the same and not used.

rected during reconstruction process.
(2) ‘Uncorrected View Number of BADRAW’ which means bad views were found and it cannot be correct.
Image was not displayed as the result.
To identify the failure under this situation, data encoding/decoding theory is useful. Next page shows the summery
of data format and what kind of information is appeared on LED or View End Mark. Please refer to DASIFN Section
on Advanced Theory Of Operation for detail.
In case you can find the bit errors constantly on specific position like below, failure should be on parallel data line.
Example below indicates 3rd bit in one set of 16 bits is always zero
0000 1111 0222 3333 4444 5555 4666 7777 8888 9999 8aaa
Parallel data line failure occurs on CIF, DTRF, DASIFN, DBPCI, cabling between CIF and DTRF or between DASIFN
and DBPCI. It may happen most possibly on DBPCI because there are most complex circuit to handle parallel signal.

D Continuous Mode:
Is the default setting. After executing the start–up diagnostic, the resident software will continuously run
the VDB self–test. Self–test will continue until the first SCSI command is received by the DASM.
The loop–back connector is made by simply adding two wires to a 25–pin Male ‘D’ connector: (pin 8 to
pin 9) and (pin 21 to pin 22).
D Single Pass:
The start–up diagnostics execute once, as described in 1-3-3-2 Start–up Sequence. Please be aware
that when position 0 is open error and other messages encountered during start–up diagnostics are di-
rected to the serial port. Otherwise the errors are encoded on the LEDs.
D Debug Mode:
When position 1 is open the program jumps to the I/O Monitor when a diagnostic error occurs. The I/O
Monitor gives the basic tools to debug the hardware. Opening positions 0 and 2 allows the technician
access to the start–up diagnostic suite via the serial port.
The three LEDs permit a combined total of only seven error codes. To overcome this limitation, the codes are defined
as a series of one or more patterns. Each pattern begins with all LEDs flashing briefly, to indicate the start of the num-
ber sequence that follows.
For example, to display error code 12 (Failed SCSI Interface Test), the CPU LED displays the first digit (1), stopping
briefly before the SCSI LED displays the second digit (2), as shown in Illustration 1–7.
+ + = 12
The display of each digit lasts approximately four times the duration of the initial binary “7” (that is, the flash of all
LEDs). The pattern then repeats. Only the significant digits for each error condition are listed in Table 1–8.
Note:
The first error stops the start–up sequence immediately.

This test program has two categories; Power On Test and Off–line Test (Detailed Power On test).
The Off–line test includes more detailed tests than power–on Test, and takes longer to run.
The power–on Test is normally selected automatically when powering ON the system. The Off–line test can be used
by the field engineer to perform a more detailed analysis in the event of an error occurring on the system.
Even if errors occur during the power–on test, the test continues to be executed until it finishes, and the test log window
appears. You can confirm the problem by reviewing test log, then select either of the following:
D [H/W diag] :
Go to [H/W diag Main Menu] for OFF–LINE test
Note
For more detail, refer to 2-3 Off–line Test.
D [Startup] :
The error is skipped and the power–on sequence proceeds so that the start–up screen will be shown on
the CRT monitor.
Note
When the start–up screen does NOT appear even if using the [Startup] command, the system must
be shutdown using [shutdown] button in the desktop menu.
D [Shutdown] :
The system runs the shutdown sequence, resulting in the system powered OFF automatically.
> poweron
D hinv Test:
Checks that the devices which are listed in the reference file created during the Reconfig procedure are
identified as correctly installed on the operator console.
D SCSI Test:
Performs ‘inquiry’ and ‘self–test’ on each SCSI device. A read and write test on the media is not performed.
The tested devices are those which were listed during the Reconfig procedure.
D NPR Test:
Performs an access test on memory devices installed on the NPR (NP Recon Engine) boards. As for
NPRS boards, only the NPRS1 board is tested. Perform the off–line test ( described in Section 2-3) to test
other NPRS boards.
D DBPCI Test:
Performs an access test on the DAS Buffer Memory and registers.
NOTICE
When the interactive test or off–line test is completed, the system MUST be powered OFF
([Exit] –> [OK]) to avoid accidental X–ray Exposure. That is because system reboot can NOT
activate the system reset line.
2-3-1 General
This is a test to verify that access to memory/register of NPR or DBPCI boards is performed with no error. In off–line
mode, the following two modes exists.
D Stop mode:
The test will stop when error occurs.
D Continue mode:
The test will proceed without stop when error occurs. The error occurred can be checked by viewing error
log after test. However, there is a much possibility that Memory/Register have been overwritten, so that
you can NOT confirm which the error occurred in read phase or in write phase.
Each mode above contains the following three test methods. (You can edit them whenever you want.)
– Normal:
All of the test items can be run.
It takes approx. 60 minutes for the longest time. (This depends on hardware configuration.)
– Quick:
A part of the test items can be run. It takes shorter than “Normal” to complete.
It takes approx. 50 minutes for the longest time. (This depends on hardware configuration.)
– Manual:
The test items can be manually selected to run the tests for the specific item to be desired.
The default setting is the same one as “Normal”.
NOTICE
Do not use the manual test until you perfectly understand each test items in the manual test.
Some memories or registers contain access prohibitive areas. If you change this area acci-
dentally, the system hung–up often occurred.
Select
D PCI test:
This test accesses NPR (GM, CM, and Master DSP’s IM) and DBPCI (DBM and all registers) from PCI
(System) bus.
D Internal test:
Check whether or not the DPI0 on the NPR board can be accessed to each memory.
Note
Each test has the edit window to select programs to be desired. For brief information of this program
to be edited, refer to 2-3-4 Editing Off–line Test Program.
Note
When aborting the Off–Line test on the way, press the [Stop Now] button.
Note
If “Error” appears, click on this [Error] button to open the NPR log viewer and display the detailed
information (device driver permission, etc...).
This error log will be deleted when performing the next test or shuting down the system.

Power–On Test
These run automatically on the major hardware components of the workstation each time it is turned on. If the tests
find a faulty part, the LED on the front of the system will be red and there will probably be an error message. See also
Problem Diagnosis (Section 3-1).
IDE Tests
The Interactive Diagnostic Environment (IDE) tests are more comprehensive than the Confidence Tests, and take
longer (as long as 30–45 minutes) to run. See Integrated Diagnostic Environment (IDE) Tests on the SBC (O2) (Sec-
tion 3-5).

5. When a notifier appears asking you for the remote hostname, type the system’s name, a colon (:), and the full
pathname of the CD–ROM drive, followed by /dist. For example, to access a CD–ROM drive. On the system
mars, you would type: mars:/CDROM/dist
After everything is copied from the CD to the system disk, you can restore your data from a recent full backup
tape. The backup must be one that has been made using the System Manager backup tool, or with the /usr/sbin/
Backup script.
Tip: If you need to check something on your system during the restore process, you can get a
shell prompt by typing sh at most question prompts.
– If you answer ‘remote,’ you have chosen to restore from the network, and you must know the hostname, tape
device name, and IP address of the remote system. You also need to know the IP address of your system. The
IP address, such as 192.0.2.1, always has four components separated by periods.
– If you answer ‘local,’ you have chosen a tape device that is connected to your system, and you are prompted
to enter the name of the tape device.
8. When you see the following message, remove the CD–ROM, insert your most recent full backup tape, then press
ENTER.
Insert the first backup tape in the drive, then press <Enter>,

There is a pause while the program retrieves several files from the tape describing the system state at the time
the backup was made. Then you see this message:
It prompts you for every file system that was known at the time of the backup. Read the following to decide wheth-
er to answer y or n.
– If you answer n for no, the system tries to salvage as many files as possible. Then it uses your backup tape
to replace the files it could not salvage. Usually you should answer no, especially if your backup tape is not very
recent. If the file systems were badly damaged, or the backup was from a different level operating system, you
may need to answer yes.
– – If you answer y for yes, the system erases the file system and copies everything from your backup tape to
the disk. The system loses any information on that file system that you created between now and when you made
your backup tape.
After two or three minutes, the names of the files that the system is copying to the disk start scrolling. When the
recovery is complete, you see this message:
Note
If your backup tapes were old, or you were changing your operating system level, you should reinstall
the operating system from the IRIX CD that came with your system after system recovery is com-
plete. When you see the Startup System notifier, press ESC, or click STOP FOR MAINTENANCE.
Then click Install System Software.
If you do not know the password, you can disable it by installing a jumper (a small cap that connects two pins) on the
system board inside the workstation. The system board is located in the system module. To install the jumper, you
must first remove the system module and the PCI tray. Follow these steps:
1. Turn off the workstation by pressing the power button on the front.
2. Remove the system module by releasing the lever on the extreme left as you face the rear of the workstation
and sliding the module out. See Section 1–6 System Module, of OC Tabl of the Component Replacement manual.
3. Release and remove the PCI tray. See Section 1–8 PCI Tray, of OC Tabl of the Component Replacement manual.
NOTICE
Before touching any of the components, attach the wrist strap to your wrist and to a metal
part of the chassis.
4. Remove the jumper from the system board in the location shown in Illustration 3–6.
You must remove the jumper if you choose to reset the PROM password.

To run the O2 IDE tests from the OC, the user must first shut down applications. Next, cu into the SBC by opening
a UNIX shell and typing: cu sbc. Once a serial connection has been established, the O2 must be shut down and re–
started. Do this by logging into the SBC as root and typing the ‘halt’ command. Press ENTER when prompted to restart
the SBC. When the system begins start–up, a message appears giving the user the option of performing system main-
tenance. Press ESC at this prompt to get to the System Maintenance Menu. Choose Option 3, Run Diagnostics.
A hardware probe will be conducted and a default set of test scripts will be run automatically. This set takes approxi-
mately 10 minutes to execute. Pass and failure information is updated to the screen.

4-1 OVERVIEW
The Service menu contains the diagnostics for the recon system (NPRIF, NPRM, NPRS boards, and its related circuit-
ry, such as DBPCI board, etc.) This section describes how to use the diagnostics. The descriptions in this section are
more detailed ones than those in Section 2-3, Off–line Test.

The trouble may be attributed to other than
the recon system. If bad images are the
problem, these units might be defective:
DASIFN, DBPCI, DTRF, DAS.

(If more than one NPRS board are de- fixed?
fective, you may follow this way.) N
Following the flowchart, if you find that an NPRS board seems to be malfunctioning, exchange the board with some
other NPRS board which is installed on another slot. And then, repeat the test, and you may be able to judge more
correctly whether the exchanged board is defective or not. In this case, if the exchanged board seems to be operating
normally, or an other board seems to be malfunctioning, the NPRM board might be defective.

Select STOP,
QUICK, NPR,
INTERNAL TEST,
and click RUN.
Several tests in NPR–internal test performs a test for each DSP (Digital Signal Processor–two DSPs are equipped
on one NPRS board) and indicates the result of each test by ‘PASS’ or ‘ERROR’. Therefore, by reading when ‘ERROR’
appears, a defective NPRS board can be identified. See Illustration 4–4.
In the test result example shown in Illustration 4–4, in Program 17, all the (four) tests passed. However, in Program
18, the fourth test failed (as shown by an arrow); this indicates that the #2 NPRS board is defective, since one NPRS
board has two DSPs, and a test is executed on each DSP. (This test example is for a recon system where two NPRS
boards are installed.)
If defective NPRS board can not be identified using this method, to the Phase 2 method discribed in next page.

ERROR
Table 4–2 lists a collection of the slave test programs checked for memories. The way to identify a defective NPRS
board, if any of these test programs failed, is explained in the following.
As shown in Illustration 4–5, click [DETAIL] in the Off Line Test menu. Then, the menu appears as shown in Illustration
4–6.
For example, by setting ‘Start Slv No’ to 3, and setting ‘Slv Count’ to 2, the program only tests the two DSPs on the
#2 NPRS board; the program does not test the #1 NPRS. Thus, by changing the ‘Start Slv No’ and ‘Slv Count’, a defec-
tive NPRS board can be identified.
NPRM Diagnostics
Select STOP,
QUICK, NPR,
PCI TEST,
and click RUN.
Table 4–3 shows an example of a test result display after clicking the [RUN] button.
As shown in this table, the NPRM board may be defective if any of the NPR – PCI test programs failed.
DBPCI Diagnostics
Select STOP,
QUICK, DBPCI#0,
PCI TEST, and
click RUN.
Table 4–5 shows an example of a test result display after clicking the [RUN] button.
As shown in this table, the DBPCI board may be defective if any of the DBPCI#0 – PCI test programs failed.
Select [Service] → [Diagnostics & analysis] → [Auto Post Recon Test], to display the Auto Post Recon Test menu.
After setting the parameters above, click OK (displayed below the above menu screen), and then, the Scan & Recon
Parameters check display as in Illustration 4–10 appears.
After checking the parameters above, click Confirm (displayed below the above check screen), and then, the recon
test is executed and the result is displayed as in Illustration 4–11.
If an error occurs in this recon test, the recon system is considered to be defective. In this case, however, since this
recon test can not identify which unit is defective, you will have to execute the Off Line Test described in Section 4-2
or 4-3 again.
If you can not identify a defective unit with the Off Line Test, you may have to troubleshoot other cause than the recon
system. Check the raw data, for example.

RAM Check
1. The gantry processor (U87) performs read/write checks of its internal RAM, the external RAM (U92), and the
dual port RAM (U77).
2. If a RAM check error occurs, the processor will stay in a hang up state, with the ERRG, LPG, RQG LED’s lighting
on the TGP board.
ROM Check
3. The processor performs a data sum check on addresses 0 ∼ BFFF of the external ROM (U112).
4. If a ROM check error occurs, the processor will stay in a hang up state, with the ERRG, LPG, RQG LED’s lighting.
If no error occurs, the LPG LED blinks, and the processor proceeds to the following step.
a. If the SYS–OFF–MNL service switch (SW1) on the TGP board is set to OFF, the system waits until the switch
is set to SYS or MNL, with the RQG and LPG LED’s alternately blinking.
b. If power is not supplied to the servo amplifier, the rotation check is terminated, with the ERRG LED lighting.
If any other abnormal conditions/operations are found, the rotation check is terminated.
To start the rotation check anew, resolve the problems, and power on or reset the TGP board.
6. The gantry rotates at 15 sec/Rev, and the processor initializes the gantry azimuth counter with the GPLS1 signal.

The error code list and associated short description is presented below.
D system phase : state of the system when the error occurred. Take care, the system state is different of
the Generator phase (refer to the Np system documentation)
D system time : date and time when the error occurred. Take care, the system time is different of the Genera-
tor time
Whenever a Generator error is logged in the system errorlog file and displayed on the operator console, the Jedi error-
log upload functionality is available to get more detailed information about the error.
This function must be performed from the operator console.
The simplified error code must be used to find the Jedi error code in the Jedi errorlog file.
Having these two information, look at the Jedi trouble–shooting table to find the FRU to replace.

*Note: Before replacing the rotation board, check the impedance of the primary and secondary of the HEMIT. In
order to do a correct measure, check before the impedance of the cables of the multimeter.
• The impedance of the primary is measured between two pins of the connector J1 of the Bouchon
board in the HEMIT (3 measures). The value is low, between 0.8 ohm and 1.6 ohm.
• If the impedance is too low (short –circuit) replace the HEMIT
• If the impedance is too high (open circuit) replace the HEMIT
• The impedance of the secondary. Measure between two pins of the HV connector marked as “ST”.

– Tube stator – Check HV cable impedance (Hemit ST to Tube +)
– Hemit secondary – Change tube
–Anode HV cable – Change Hemit
• Or bearings of tube broken

40– HV cable open error There is an open circuit in the High voltage line
0115H between Hemit and tube. The actions are:
– Check HV cable connection and impedance
– Check tube stator impedance
– Check Hemit secondary impedance. Replace HEMIT
if open.
For the other error codes, refer to the troubleshooting table
*Note: Before replacing the rotation board, check the impedance of the primary and secondary of the HEMIT. In
order to do a correct measure, check before the impedance of the cables of the multimeter.
• The impedance of the primary is measured between two pins of the connector J1 of the Bouchon
board in the HEMIT (3 measures). The value is low, between 0.8 ohm and 1.6 ohm.
• If the impedance is too low (short –circuit) replace the HEMIT
• If the impedance is too high (open circuit) replace the HEMIT
• The impedance of the secondary. Measure between two pins of the HV connector marked as “ST”.
(large, small and common). For the three measures the value should be between 0.8 ohm and 1.6
ohm.
• If the impedance is too low (short –circuit) replace the HEMIT
• If the impedance is too high (open circuit) replace the HEMIT
Purpose :
The purpose of this test is to verify that the HV power inverter drive is working properly. The IGBTs gate drive supply
and the IGBTs gate drive is verified. At the same time verification is made that no inverter currents nor High voltage
are measured. This test is performed without DC voltage applied to the inverter so that no Xray is generated. Anode
rotation and filament drive are not activated during this test.
