The Run Time Parameters window lets you specify how long you want the test to run, whether you want DIAG to notify you of each error as it occurs, and whether to create a log of all errors that occur during testing. The Help window shows the keys you use to make menu selections. A short message describing each test you highlight displays at the bot[...]

Selecting Diagnostics Tests This section describes the various ways you can select the tests you want to run. To start a single test, move the cursor to highlight the test category on the main menu. Then move the cursor to the submenu and highlight the test you want to perform. Press Enter to start the test. To select several tests at one time, mov[...]

You cannot include certain tests in a group. The tests that must run separately include: category System Board Test Timer test Real Time Clock test Hard Disk Hard Disk Format Auto Interleave Media Analysis Force Bad Tracks Floppy Disk Change Line Test Keyboard Scan/ASCII Code Test Miscellaneous Printer Adapter Test: Comm.

If you specify a number larger than 65535, DIAG subtracts 65535 from your entry to determine how many times to run the test. For example, if you enter a value of 65540, DIAG runs the test(s) five times. Error Logging When you request error logging, DIAG displays the following pop-up window: Log errors on disk Log errors to printer (LPT1) Log errors[...]

After selecting error logging, DIAG uses this device (and/or disk drive) for error logging until you indicate you do not want error logging. You can then specify a new device and/or disk drive by selecting error logging in the Run Time Parameters window. When you specify a new device and/or disk drive, DIAG erases the existing ERROR.LOG file. If yo[...]

Executing Diagnostics Tests in Batch Mode To execute the selected group of diagnostics tests in batch mode, simply press F6. DIAG highlights each test name as it runs the test. If you selected Passbound testing, DIAG displays the pass number on the right side of the screen above the Run Time Parameters window. For example: Pass : 00001 When DIAG is[...]
