Q J2 Test *

The Q J2 Test checks the TECs quiet bits by reading the input card. Both the TEC being tested and its partner TEC are set to a port on the edge of the crate's region. The Quiet bits for the selected TEC are toggled and the CFLTP input card is read to see if the quiet edge was set. The TEC partners are as follows : (0-7), (1-8), (2-9), (3-10), (4-11), (5-12), (6-13). The partner has all of its Quiet, Electron and Min. Ionization bits set to provide the maximum quietness possible for the adder cards edge check. If either partner cannot set one of these three bits, then both TECs will fail the test since the edge cannot be quiet. All 4 towers of a TEC have its quiet bits toggled. To be sure that the quiet bit backplane drivers work for all ports, the Tower Thresholds test must pass for the TEC. Two edges are tested, so ports 0 and 6 are checked explicitly.
