Starting the Test Programs
Test Options
Each option that appears on the Options Menu is briefly described
below.
Halt on Error: The default is No. If you select Yes, you can
resume testing after a halt by pressing any key. If you select
No, any error detected is logged (only if you enabled the Test
Log) and the program continues testing without halting.
Beep on Error: The default is No. If you select Yes, a beep
sounds whenever the test program detects an error.
Lap Count: This option allows you to set the number of times
to run each group of tests. The default setting is 1. You can
enter a number from 0 to 10. The looping is controlled on a
block basis, not on an individual test basis. Therefore, if you
select tests A, B, and C and the Lap Count is set to 3, the test
sequence is ABC/ABC/ABC.
Pause Control: You can choose to have the test programs pause
between test modules and wait for you to press any key to
continue. Also, you can choose to have the test program wait
for a user response to indicate if the video tests pass. The
default setting is Pause Between. The available choices are
Pause Between and No Pause. If you choose No Pause, the test
programs continue testing without a pause from one video test
to the next, and from one test module to the next.
Test Log: Allows you to select whether or not to do logging.
You can select one of the following five choices:
No Logging
COM1
LPT1
ASCII
.DBF
No Logging is the only selection that turns off Test Log. The
other four selections enable Test Logging.
