As the normal data through the Sample Transmitter is highly uncorrelated, it is
difficult to troubleshoot the logic circuitry. To overcome this problem, the
diagnostic routine at power up uses known test patterns to check that the various
sections of the formatting logic are working properly and bits are not being
missed or dropped.
