Alt+E + Alt+V
Set the Vertical lost calibration speed thresholds used in the graphic draw
mouse test. The defaults limits are 200 to 400.
Alt+E + Alt+M
Set mouse bumper failure threshold. The default number of mickeys for this is
1000. The number reflects how much bumper compression is permitted before
a bumper is rejected.
Alt+E + Atl+S
Set sine mouse test threshold. For mice that exhibit sine wave patterns along
the left side of the screen, use this key to specify how much will be tolerated.
The default value is 10.
Alt+E + Alt+T
Set the lost mickey Time threshold. Use this command to specify the minimum
number of "timer tics" at which a mouse "mickey" error can occur. The default
value is 10 timer tics. See the Alt+E + Alt+C command and the mouse test
section.
Alt+E + Alt+Z
Shell out from Diag to a command prompt. This can be used to run small
tasks, (e.g. copy files) without losing any current diagnostic settings. When
ready to return to Diag, type EXIT.
Commands for setting test parameters
The following table describes the various commands used to set test parameters within the
diagnostics program.
Table 8 - Diagnostic Test Parameters
Command
Description
#
Set loop count limit for looping tests. By default 1 loop is run. If 0 loops are
specified, Diag will loop indefinitely. Other values will loop for the count specified.
Ctrl+A
Set wakeup Alarm delay after suspend. The OmniBook can be set to
automatically wake up after a suspend by setting a wakeup alarm of 1 to 59 hours,
minutes, or seconds. By default, no wakeup is scheduled. If an alarm delay has
been set and multiple test loops are set then Diag will automatically suspend at the
completion of each loop.
Ctrl+D
Set loop Delay interval. By default, looped testing runs as rapidly as possible with
no delays between loops. This command lets the user specify that each loop of
testing start from 1 to 59 hours, minutes, or seconds after the previous loop
started. No delay will occur if the tests have already run for the specified delay
time (for example, if 2 minutes of delay are specified and the tests selected ran for
2 minutes 10 seconds, then no delay would occur at the end of the loop.
Ctrl+H
Report System Hardware found. This test reports on various OmniBook
components. The following are reported: CPU speed (100, 133, 150, etc); Display
technology (TFT, DSTN); Hard disk capacity (814M, 1.4G, etc); Cache size (256,
512, etc) and state (ON,OFF); OS version (varies); system RAM (16M, 24M, ...
80M); and disk volume id (varies).
Ctrl+R
Set Retries before reporting disk error. By default, 5 retries are permitted before a
disk error is reported. Specifying fewer retries will detect marginal media more
quickly. A related feature of Diag regarding soft read errors (checksum errors), is
that these sectors will be written back to disk to repair the checksum error.
Ctrl+S
Enter Suspend state. This command will put the OmniBook into an off state
similar to pressing the Off key. Once suspended, the OmniBook will remain off
indefinitely unless a wakeup alarm has been set with <Ctrl+A>.
Alt+B
Set Brightness 0-255. Specify a display brightness from 0 to 255 with this
command. This exceeds the normal range permitted with the brightness buttons
and can result in a blank display. Repeat the command with a less extreme value
to restore the display.
