ABSTRACT
Part of side switch activities.
The WFC3 Science Buffer RAM is checked for bit flips during SAA passages. This is followed by a Control Section (CS) self-test consisting of
writing/reading a specified bit pattern from each memory location in Buffer RAM. The CS Buffer RAM self-test as well as the bit flip tests are all
done with the CS in OPERATE.
ID:WF03
OBSERVING DESCRIPTION
Part of side switch activities.
Using the set buffer memory macro, write zeros into CS Buffer RAM prior to passage into the SAA and then dump buffer memory to SSR after exit
from the SAA to check for bit flips. This Buffer RAM check should be executed several times, spanning the SAA. Then use the CS self test macro to
conduct a pattern test of CS Buffer RAM and check the memory fail counter after the test has completed.
The CS tests are done in OPERATE so that the CS paging is enabled and all 68 mega-bytes of memory are available for testing.
REAL TIME JUSTIFICATION
Realtime access to the engineering telemetry is needed to check the memory and to monitor the self test results in Visit 13.

s per entry, starting at location IRSLFTST). The default patterns and values for the macro are OK so no patching is required. Note at the end of the test, each byte in CS Buffer memory will contain the test pattern ('55'
