Memory patterns test
As discussed in Section 2, Model 2790 units equipped with firmware revision A04 and
higher have the capability of using memory patterns to simplify repetitive test procedures.
The discussion below shows how to use memory patterns to make contact checks on a
dual-stage inflator.
NOTE See Section 2 of the Model 2790 Reference Manual for a more detailed memory
patterns example.
Test circuit
As shown in Figure 5-14, there are four contact connection points for the V-source test cir-
cuits. Contact checks are performed as follows:
• Bank 1 HI contact — Close channels 1, 14, and 18 to check the connection at the
HI terminal of bridgewire A.
• Bank 2 housing contact — Close channels 8, 15, and 18 to check the connection at
the housing of the inflator.
• Bank 3 HI contact — Close channels 4, 14, and 18 to check the connection at the
HI terminal of bridgewire B.

NOTE Each channel is a 2-pole
switch. Therefore, when a
channel is closed, two
switches close (see
schematic in Figure 2-1).
