Chapter 2 - Testing

If your system ships with MS-DOS, Xycom Automation provides diagnostic tests to ver-
ify system hardware functions. If a test fails, either you do not have the correct default
setting or there has been a hardware failure. Check the default settings and run the tests
again. If another failure occurs, contact Xycom Automation's Product Repair and Cus-
tomization Department (see Chapter 6).
Unexpected failures may occur if you run Xycom Automation diagnos-
tics with device drivers or memory resident programs (TSRs) installed
