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.
