• GUID (IEEE1394) test...
Normally, this is not used. GUID (i.LINK ID) value is displayed. Whether this value is correct is not checked.
• IEEE1394 Interface test...
The communication test of 1394 is executed. Another PC is required as a communication counterpart. The models released
after year 2000 will operate normally. For the models released earlier than year 2000, the model having same 1394 chip as
that of PC to be tested will operate normally. (Accordingly, it is recommended to use the models released after year 2000
as a communication counterpart.)
Connect the i.LINK cable, and start the communication counterpart PC using the TOOL FD created from the CD in
advance. (To create the TOOL FD, copy the contents of TOOL folder in the CD to the FD that stores the DOS system.)
From the MENU in the communication counterpart PC, select the 1394 test to place the PC in the receive state. After
confirming that the communication counterpart PC is in the receive state, select the 1394 test on the machine to be tested,
and the test will start. Random data transmission and receiving are repeated 10 times. (This test is repeated 10 times.)
• IrDA test...
This test is not executed for this set.
• Camera test...
The built-in camera is tested. Whether an image captured in the camera is displayed correctly and the camera rotation
switch functions normally can be checked. Perform operation sequentially following the instructions given on the screen.
• Shutter Button test...
The Shutter button on the camera is tested. The time-out has been set, and if the button is not operated for the specified
time, an error occurs.
• Jog dial test...
The jog dial turning and clicking are tested. The < > mark will be displayed, then turn the jog dial downward to meet with
(^_^) mark and click the jog dial. Next, turn the jog dial upward to meet with (^_^) mark displayed upward and click the
jog dial.
• Short aging test.../Long aging test...
The aging test is executed. The short test quits when the test of all items is executed once. In the long test, respective items
are tested repeatedly over a total of about 10 hours.
• Aging test including the HDD test...
Execute this test when destructive test is applied to the HDD. The HDD read/write test is executed after the aging test.
Though two test menus, short and long, are available, the contents of aging test are same as Short aging test.../Long aging
test... The test will start immediately if the menu is selected.
Note: Executing this test will destroy the contents of user's HDD, thus requiring extreme care.
• Exit from Diagnostics MENU
The diagnostic test quits and the DOS prompt is displayed. If you exited from diagnostic test by mistake, restart the
diagnostic program.
