ONLINE TESTS
Online tests include work station exerciser routines that
reside in the system. A Prime Option Menu is displayed
that provides the selection of display verification, matrix
printer verification, configuration data, and ERAP (error
recording analysis procedures).
The display verification includes the Display Attributes
test and the Displayable Characters test that check out
the planar. The Specified Input Fields test checks out
the controller. The Function Keys and Features test
checks out the system and the features installed on the
display station.

Online tests can be run on the work station at the same
time 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 ways to terminate or sign off a
job. To describe them here is beyond the scope of this
manual as the methods used are system operating
procedures. If you are not familiar with the system, use
the procedure in the following flowchart:
Ensure that the Status
switch is in the Normal
