Timebound Testing

If you selected Timebound testing, you see this prompt:

Specify the amount of time you want to run the selected test(s). Type the number of hours, from 000 to 999, and press Enter. Then type the number of minutes, from 00 to 59, and press Enter. You can use the backspace key (t) to edit your input.

Continuous Testing

If you selected Continuous testing, DIAG needs no additional information. After you specify whether to create the error log, DIAG returns to the main menu. You see this message in the Run Time Parameters window:

Test Mode: Continuous
Passbound Testing

If you selected Passbound testing, you see this prompt:

No. of Passes : 00001

Specify the number of times (from 1 to 65535) you want DIAG to run the test(s). Or press Enter without entering a number to select the default of one pass. You can use the backspace key to edit your input.

Running a test multiple times provides reliability testing of essential functions only. In most cases, running a test once is sufficient.
