log for a single object, the test alarms command only tests each physical object
once.
1. If
auto-page
option is not specified, the screen does not refresh once filled, and testing stops until the user
presses PAGE (continue) or CANCEL (halts testing).
2. Press CANCEL to abort the command, ENTER to test the currently displayed alarm, NEXT ALARM (function
key) to move to the next alarm, and PREV ALARM (function key) to move to the previous alarm without testing
the currently displayed alarm. If this option is entered, then the NEXT ALARM (function key) or PREV ALARM
(function key) can be pressed at any time during the command, even during test results. If NEXT ALARM or
PREV ALARM is pressed during a test, the test is aborted, testing of the current alarm stops, and the next or
previous alarm displays. If the first alarm is displayed and PREV ALARM is pressed, then the last alarm is
displayed. If the last alarm is currently displayed and the NEXT ALARM is requested, then the first alarm
displays. The only way to terminate this command is to press CANCEL.
3. If no alarms are registered against the maintenance object then the test sequence is run only once. The
long
clear
option forces a clear of all alarms if no errors are encountered during testing. The
short clear
option only
clears alarms pertinent to tests in the short sequence. SEE WARNINGS BELOW.
4. Refer to the Report Scheduler and System Printer feature specification for more details.
