Complete Test—Provides a predetermined script where each hardware component is fully tested. You
can select Interactive or Unattended tests. This will change the devices tested during the Complete
Test. There are more tests available in the interactive mode, but these require user intervention.
Custom Test—Provides the most flexibility in controlling the testing of a system. The Custom Test mode
allows the user to specifically select which devices, tests, and test parameters are run. Users are
provided the ability to select tests that do not require any user interaction through the Interactive and
Unattended test modes.
To begin testing:
1 Select the Test tab.
2 Select the Type of Test to perform and then select the Test Mode, either Interactive or Unattended.
3 Choose how you want the test to be executed, either Number of Loops or Total Test Time.
When choosing to run the test over a specified number of loops, enter the number of loops to
perform. If you desire to have the diagnostic test for a specified time period, enter the amount of time
in minutes.
NOTE Testing will automatically stop, if one test loop has been completed, when the elapsed test time
has reached the specified time limit.
4 Click Begin Testing to start the test.
While tests are being performed, the user can monitor the progress by viewing the Status tab. Any
errors that are detected are summarized in the Error Log. Select the Print button to print or save the
report.
If the diagnostics utility detects an error during a test, the user can mouse-over the failed text in the
Status tab to display additional information for the type of error and the error code.
To view all test failure information, select the Error Log. To view the status of all testing that has been
performed, select the Log tab.
STATUS TAB
The Status tab displays the status of the selected tests. The type of test executed (for example, Quick,
Complete, Custom) is displayed. The main progress bar displays the percent complete of the current
set of tests. While testing is in progress a Cancel testing button, which will cancel the test job, is
displayed.
After testing has completed the Cancel testing button is replaced with two buttons, Select New Tests
and Retest. The Select New Tests button allows you to go back to the previous test selection page to
select a new set of tests. The Retest button will retest the last set of tests executed. This enables you to
re-run the set of tests without having to go back to the test selection page.
The Status page also shows:
The devices being tested.
The tests that are running.
The overall elapsed time.
The individual elapsed test times.
The condition status of each test.
