Changing the Number of Repetitions

All tests are set by default to run 10 times and to halt when an error occurs. To change the number of repetitions, enter a new value in the Times field of the Repetitions box of the Test Setup screen (Figure 6-2).

Changing Action on Error

To test for suspected intermittent errors, clear the Halt On Error option and select Continuous.

File Options

The File Options button appears in the Test Setup and Run Tests screens. Use File Options to save, load, and print your test setup configurations and results.

Test setup configuration data is saved to a file named 3C975.TST. This file contains the following test setup parameters:

■Halt on error (yes or no)

■Number of test repetitions

■Status of internal and external NIC tests (enable or disable)

Load the 3C975.TST configuration file to set the parameters of the current diagnostic test to those saved in the file.

Test results are saved to an ASCII text file named 3C975.RPT. All subsequent saved test results are appended to this file and are not saved separately.

A sample test result report is shown in Figure 6-9.
