To allow CERN to test and maintain HIPPI equipment (High Performance Parallel Interface), a powerful test falcility is required. A tester has been developed at Los Alamos National Laboratories [9,10]. The CERN HIPPI testbox allows testing of HIPPI equipment both inside and outside the specifications. This includes the possibility of deliberately introducing errors. The main features of this testbox are: Manual set-up Processor controlled set-up Possibilities for remote analysis Checking the HIPPI specifications Checking illegal conditions
