Using the Custom Test Options

When you select Custom Test in the Main Menu window, the Customize window allows you to select the device(s) to be tested, select specific options for testing, and view the test results.

Selecting Devices for Testing

The left side of the Customize window lists devices that can be tested. Click the (+) next to a device or module to view its components.

•Show Ending Timestamp—Time stamps the test log.

•Test Iterations—Selects the number of times the test is run.

•Log output file pathname—Enables you to specify the diskette drive or USB memory key where the test log file is saved. You cannot save the file to a hard drive.

The following tabs in the Customize window provide information about the test and the test results:

•Results—Displays the test that ran and the result.
