HOME VIDEO GAME BURN-IN TESTER

The Burn-In Tester performs functional as well as static tests on

the operation of the home video game.

The functional tests performed check for correct operation of

system read only memory, random access memory, custom functions as

data, shift, flop, expand, OR and XOR.

Static tests performed exercise all the system I/O ports by

reading and writing to them.

Included in the tester are 8 routines to enable the user to

generate constant CPU signals for checking data and control logic

circuitry, monitor activity on system input ports, generate color

display, and enter a program directly into system RAM for

execution.

While the Burn-In Tester is in operation the LED display on the

tester module will blink the number of hours the unit has been

under test (this also indicates the unit is working).

Ex. LED's blink

-0 test is in its first hour

10 test has been running for 10 hours

The hours counter will display up to "99" hours before recycling

back to "-0".
