4-3.27 SEND DIAGNOSTIC command 1Dh
The SEND DIAGNOSTIC command requests the target to perform diagnostic tests on itself, or on
the attached peripheral devices. After the receipt of a valid SEND DIAGNOSTIC command, the unit
performs synchronization prior to execution of the SEND DIAGNOSTIC operation. Disconnection
occurs, if allowed, during the execution of the function. When the Selftest bit is zero, this command
is usually followed by a RECEIVE DIAGNOSTIC RESULTS command.

Operation code.
1 A UnitOfL (Unit Offline) bit of 1 enables write operations on user medium or opera-
tions that affect user visible medium positioning.
1 A DevOfL (Device Offline) bit of 1 enables diagnostic operations that may adversely
affect operations to other logical units on the same target.
1 A Selftest bit of 1 directs the target to complete its default selftest.
0 A Selftest bit of 0 directs the target to perform tests defined by the bytes in the
parameter list. Successful completion of the function and preparation of a response is
indicated by presentation of GOOD status. The response is then recovered by execu-
tion of the RECEIVE DIAGNOSTIC RESULTS command.
