Also some key caps have characters that cannot be displayed with the text
characters available. Therefore, when running the keyboard test on a foreign
keyboard, the POSITION of the key within the keyboard should match the
POSITION of the key shown on the display, not necessarily the character printed on
the key (although in nearly all cases, it does match). When -x is specified, the extra
key appears as >< before the SP key.
-1 Mark all tests for quickest test available. This has the same effect as using the <M>
command once and is mainly used with the -r switch.
-2 Mark all tests for standard test available. This has the same effect as using the <M>
command twice and is mainly used with the -r switch
-3 Mark all tests for longest test available. This has the same effect as using the <M>
command thrice and is mainly used with the -r switch.
EDOCK An undocumented/hidden Diag switch: Set the dock serial number. Use this
undocumented switch to set the dock serial number in the dock EEPROM. The date
and time must be valid, and the date must be Jan 1 1996 or later. The serial
number is set to the following code: MDDHHMMS where M is month 1-9 A-C, DD is
day 01-31, HH is hour 00-23, MM is minute 00-59, and S is seconds 0-5 (tens of
seconds only).
User interface commands
The user interface commands of the diagnostics program are divided into three groups:
commands that select tests, commands that toggle test settings, and commands that set test
parameters.
Commands for test selection
The following table describes the various commands used to select test within the diagnostics
program.
Table 5 - Diagnostic Test Selection Commands
Command Description
Down Highlight the next test. At the bottom, wrap to the top test.
Up Highlight previous test. At the top, wrap to the bottom test.
Home Highlight the top test.
End Highlight the bottom test.
Space Mark the highlighted test. Tests that permit multiple levels progress from the
quickest test to the longest test then back to not selected.
M Mark all tests. If no tests are selected, <M> will select all tests to run at the
quickest possible level. Another <M> sets all tests to the standard level.
Another <M> sets the longest possible level. Another <M> unselects all tests. If
any other mixture of tests is selected all tests are unselected.
Enter Run all selected tests. <Enter> is used to begin running a group of selected
tests. If no tests are selected, the highlighted test is run at the standard level.
1 2 3 Run highlighted test ONLY (short, standard, long). If short or long is not
available for the specified test, the standard test is run.
<Backspace> Stop current test. The <Backspace> key is universally used to abort a test that
is running. Some tests may not be able to quickly respond to the keyboard and
it may be necessary to depress the key a few times or hold the key down for it to
be recognized.
Esc Exit Self-test. Upon exit, the Diag display is cleared and the DOS display is
restored. Every attempt is made to restore all settings to their previous state
