Online tests can be run on the work station while other
jobs are being run on the system. However, the work
station must be in a signed-off condition before online
tests can be run on that work station. There may be
various methods that can be used to terminate or sign
off a job. These methods are not described in this
manual because they are system operating procedures.
If you do not know the procedure to use with the
system, use the procedure in the following flowchart:
