Abstract

A trouble-shooting system for computer-controlled machinery includes a portable programmable testing unit (100). The unit (100) includes: a CPU (170); A/D (130) and D/A (132) converters connecting the CPU (170) to a voltage probe (34), for either measuring voltages on the machine or generating test voltages to be applied to the machine; a voice synthesizer (120) with headphones (24); a text line display (50), for instructing the user, a keypad (60) for the user to respond; a card slot (40) for accepting a memory card (42) which holds the test program, and may be dedicated to the machine (200) and hold a maintenance history; and a data bus connector (74). The data bus (212) from the machine's control computer (210) is disconnected for the test and coupled to the testing unit (100), which tests the computer as well as electromechanical devices of the machine (200).
