You can specify that the test be performed one time only or any number of times in the range from 1 to 9999. Running a test multiple times is for reliability testing of essential functions only; in most cases, running a test only once is sufficient.
To perform the test once, select 1. The program then displays a submenu of more detailed tests for the device you are checking.
To perform the test multiple times, select 2. You see this prompt:
T e r m i n a t e c h e c k i n g i f a n e r r o r d e t e c t e d ? (Y/N)
Select Y to terminate checking if the device produces an error, or N to repeat the tests regardless of an error. You see this prompt:
R e p e a t t i m e s ( 1 - 9 9 9 9 ) ? 1
To perform the test once, press Enter.
If you wish to run the tests more than once, type the number of
times and press Enter.
For some devices, the computer does not display a submenu of tests to choose from. Instead, it performs all the tests that do not require you to enter a response. If you chose to test the device more than once, the computer runs all the tests and then repeats them in the same order.
You may see this message on the screen during the tests:
O n e r r o r s , p r e s s a n y k e y t o s t o p
If you see an error while one of the tests is running, press any key to terminate the test.
