| device, Also included is a list of error values that the 260 may display during
During the startup sequence the input 1 LEDs ramp up, Each stage of this ramp has significance, which is
described below
First LED ehl input,
Indicates that CPU is running ~ initialization has begun,
Second LED eht input.
Indicates that the A/D have completed their calibration sequence. If this LED does not light, A/D init has
FAILED,
‘Third LED cht input.
Indicates that the DACs have been initialized. ‘The CPU will not hold this state based on a pass/fail
criterion,
Fourth LED cht input
Indicates that the LCD drivers have been tested, The CPU will not hold this state based on a pass/fail
After these intializations, the timer ISRs is initialized
‘The LED test sequence is next, which lights all button LED's, and all /O LED's in progression,
‘The dbx banner and firmware version is displayed on the LCD,
‘The hard checksum (user programs) is tested. This tests the user program memory space, which is in
FLASH. If it fails, the user is forced into a HARD RESET. A hard reset replaces all user programs with
the factory default programs.
‘The soft checksum (system variables) checksum is tested. Ifthe soft checksum fails, the following system
variables resume their default settings.

Munges
any system, program or global munges are required they are performed next. These may be performed
‘on program updates to modify parameter values as per new FX changes, o initialize new features added in
the new fimmware version.
. If program parameters are modified, 2 notification with user ackowledgement will occur.
. If'system values are changed, notification will occur.
. Ifglobal values with no user access are changed, there will be no notification
Power Up Keys are acknowledged.
Any MUTE key All outputs will mute on startup.
STORE_KEY Hard reset will be performed after user acknowledgement.
XOVER_KEY then 10_KEY will show eredits ~ DO NOT TELL USERS ABOUT THIS. If they find it
they are special
UTIL_KEY Soft reset will be performed after user acknowledgement,
PROG_KEY Program select on power up. This feature is useful ifa program is
‘corrupted and must not be loaded.
RTA_KEY Locked state can be modified. (not locked, locked, locked with filter clear
available)
DSP is loaded with its code
DSP HOST PORT TEST
evr fails wXXEXX (WX, rEXX indicate failed host port interface)
curl fail: WIXXEXX — (w:XX, r-XX indicate failed host port interface)
During the DSP load, the LEDs in output 6 will indicate “retries”. If they are ramping, the DSP has failed
to load, IF the ramping stops it has succeeded after several reties
10-1 RIMS are loaded just after the DSP has been initialized,
The device name is displayed
PUP Program cheeksum If the PUP program is set to CURRENT and the checksum for the PUP
Program fails, the program will load from the user program table and display “Loading Current Program,
from Flash,
Successful Boot Count is incremented and stored in EEPROM.
User defined contrast is set (default is used during startup)
The program is loaded and the program configuration is displayed on the LCD sereen. (if the program does
not display ~ check contrast level in Utility)
Normal operation of the 260 continues,Non critical errors
!:Ramp Fail XX_ the failure value displayed will indicate which portion of the ramp failed. This can
indicate a number of different problems, most likely a failure of the host port interface to the DSP, ‘The
unit will continue to operate,
Critical failures:
Failed DSP load. On power up if output 6 LEDs are ramping, the DSP is not leading, The following errot
‘messages will help debug the host port interface to the DSP.
:wr_dsp_byte
From Id_pmet-dr_init
STAT WORD
2B
Description:
nel: An error occured during an attempt to write a byte to the DSP host port.
line2: What memory load was being performed (Id_pmem-dr_initd_pmem, or Id_ymem),
line3: Header for the data that follows on lined.
lined: STAT = DSP HOST INTERFACE STATUS REGISTER value during the failure.
WORD = Count of the word that was being written when the error occured,
‘There are critical failures where the box will lock and the error message will display. The messages
displayed are a part of our error handling when no recovery is possible. Contact dbx software engineers
Steve Smith or John Lee immediately, In some circumstances, a hard reset will remove the condition that
caused the critical failure.
Examples of these are “Stack Collisiont”, "
ent>MAX_FX"
2get_evals, ent>MAX_PARAMS”Floor tests refer to test manufacturing documents for full procedures.
To enter floor tests, hold down the METER key and then hold down then the DELETE key
Button Encoder Test indicates the button pressed to ensure keypad works.
Meter LED Test «lights all LEDs in various patterns to ensure LEDs work.
LED Driver Test «= darkens the left half then the right half of the sereen. Missing pixels may be
detected,
‘TRIM VO levels, allows 1/0 levels to be trimmed to calibrated levels. Pressing STORE key
will reset the 10 trims to default levels (0.00dB)
Mute Relay Test ~ enables/disables the Mute Relays.
Delay Memory Test ~ tests dsp memory
Mic input test tests contact closures, Output levels have gain that is controlled by contact
closure voltage values.
Loopback test «tests RS232 circuit. Encoder turn cancels test.
END of floor tests.
