Test Tab

The Insight Diagnostics utility provides the capability to test all the major pieces of hardware in the system. Test progress is displayed on the Status tab. Detailed test results are displayed on the Log tab. There are three types of tests:

There are two different testing modes:

Tests can be further configured and customized by using the following attributes:

To begin testing:

  1. Select the Test tab.

  2. Select the Type of Test to perform and then select the Test Mode, either Interactive or Unattended.

  3. Choose how you want the test to be executed, either Number of Loops or Total Test Time.

When choosing to run the test over a specified number of loops, enter the number of loops to perform. If you desire to have the diagnostic test for a specified time period, enter the amount of time in minutes.

NOTE: Testing will automatically stop, if one test loop has been completed, when the elapsed test time has reached the specified time limit.

  1. Click on Begin Testing to start the test.

While tests are being performed, the user can monitor the progress in the Status tab. Any errors that are detected are summarized in the Error Log.

If the diagnostics utility detects an error during a test, the user can mouse-over the failed text in the Status tab to display additional information for the type of error and the error code.

To view all test failure information, select the Error Log. To view the status of all testing that has been performed, select the Log tab.

Status Tab

The Status tab displays the status of the selected tests. The main progress bar displays the percent complete of the current set of tests. A graph below the progress bar displays statistics for each individual device. During tests of longer duration, the Status screen refresh rate will vary. The Status screen contains a link that can be used to refresh the screen manually. Tests in progress can be cancelled by pressing the Cancel button.

After testing has completed, the Select New Tests and Retest buttons allow you to go back to the previous test selection page to select a new set of tests or retest the last set of tests that were executed. This allows you to re-run the set of tests without having to go back to the test selection page.

Note: If you wish to retest only those devices that failed, perform a Custom test. You can specify the number of retries to perform in the parameter settings for each device.

The Status page also shows:

Log Tab

The Log tab consists of three views.
