Walk the power sequence ​

On boards whose profile documents the power-on sequence, Walk the power sequence measures each rail in the order it should come up: "Rail 1 of 5: PPBUS_MAIN". Start it from the board card on Home, or from the session column at any point.

The power sequence walk: each rail in power-on order with its nominal voltage.

Each rail is a voltage step with its range set 5 % either side of the nominal from the board's profile, and the power state to confirm first. When a board file is open, the red lead goes on a capacitor on the rail next to its inductor; without a file, the step names the net and you pick the point. The panel under the reading lists the rails with each reading and verdict as you go.

The walk two rails in: each reading and its verdict listed against its rail.

The first rail out of range ends the walk and hands over to that rail's steps in the fault tree.

Your board files never leave your computer.
