Here is how I setup the loop-back test:

1) Loaded ADAT A-B routing configuration

2) Set Program A to Mute

3) Set clock source to internal 48 kHz

4) Set all Main Inputs to


, then set set Main Inputs IN 1 to ADAT in 1

5) Set all DSP A i/p routing to


6) Set all DSP B i/p routing to


7) Set all Main Outputs (Analog) to


, then set Main Outputs (Analog) ANA1 to DSP B out 1 +


(so I could hear the signal)

8) Set all Main Outputs (Digital) to


9) Set all ADAT Outputs to


, then set ADAT Outputs out1 to Main Out 1

10) Set all AES Outputs to


11) Set all Firewire 1 Outputs to


12) Set all Firewire 2 Outputs to


13) Plugged one lightpipe TOSLink cable from the Out port to the In port

14) Powered the H8000FW off, then on

15) Set Program B to Oscillator

Result: A signal shows up on all 8 channels of the Main Output block, and on channel 1 of the Output block, but no signal shows up on the Input block (I don't expect one to show up on the Main input block due to the way I have routed the signals.)

Do you think this is a valid test to determine if there is a hardware failure in the ADAT Out port?
