SunVTS Diagnostic Testing

The SunVTS software executes multiple diagnostic hardware tests from a single user interface, and is used to verify the configuration and functionality of most hardware controllers and devices. The SunVTS software operates primarily from a graphical user interface, enabling test parameters to be set quickly and easily while a diagnostic test operation is being performed.

Refer to the SunVTS documents (see TABLE D-1) for instructions on how to run and monitor the sunlink diagnostic. These SunVTS documents are available online at the following URL:
