Abstract
A first test and diagnosis device to check a data processing unit. The device includes means for manually testing and passing diagnostics on the first unit, as well as other means for automatically testing and diagnosing the first unit through a second data processing unit. The latter means are comprised of maintenance circuitry, contained within the first unit and linked to the second unit in such a way as to allow the second unit to conversationally interact with the first unit. This interaction is comprised of a sequence of input and output microdialogues performed by means of the maintenance circuits. The test and diagnosis microprograms may be contained in either unit.
