Off-Line diagnostic command: help
- Diagnostic Help: Overview -----------------------------------------------------------------
COMMANDS:
Add r t [l] ----------------> Add to test list
Continue -----------------> Continue running the current test list
Delete n [x] --------------> Delete a test, n="*" clears the entire list
Help|? [notes|macros] -> Diagnostic help information
Insert n r t [l] ------------> Insert test at node 'n' in list
List [n] [x] --------------> List tests in Test List
List Registry [r] [t] ---> List tests in Test Registry
List Errors --------------> List Error history
Node [n] [l] -------------> Set loop count to ‘l’ at ‘n’
Options [o]|[+|-][c|e|s]--->Options for all tests, or loop count at node 'n'
Quit ----------------------> Quit Diagnostics
Run [#] ------------------> Run entire test list # times [1=default, 0=forever]
KEY:
r = routine number (HEX) t = test number (HEX)
l = loop count byte, 1 (default) to 254 times, or 0 to loop test forever
n = node number x = end node number
+c = continue on error -c = stop on error
+e = display errors -e = suppress error display
+s = display status -s = suppress status

Off-Line diagnostic command: help macros
- Diagnostic Help: Macros -----------------------------------------------------------------------
Macros are an easy way to build and run a list of diagnostics routines and
tests. Macros are executed by entering "RUN" [macro name] [run count]
VALID MACRO NAMES:
ACL = ACL/FACL test without magazine
ACL_MAG = ACL/FACL test with magazine
ACL_ALL = ACL/FACL test list - both with and without magazine
COMB = All LWR “In-line” tests
MTC = Controller test list
MTU = Drive test without cartridge
MTU_CART = Drive test with cartridge
MTU_ALL = Drive test list - both with and without cartridge
LOAD = Load cartridge
UNLOAD = Unload cartridge
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Off-Line diagnostic command: help notes
- Diagnostic Help: Notes -------------------------------------------------------------------------
NOTES:
1. Only the first letter (case insensitive) of each command is required
2. Routine, Test, and Options numbers are always entered in hexadecimal
3. Loop counts and Node numbers are decimal by default (prefix '0x' for Hex)
4. The wildcard "*" may be used to select all routines, tests, etc.
5. Multiple commands per line may be entered using a semicolon (;) separator
6. To abort running tests, enter [RETURN] or press and hold the RESET button
7. The test list Options may also be entered as a hexadecimal number:
Options [o]
where, o = options byte (HEX): bit 0 = 0x01 -> continue on error
(NOTE: These settings are bit bit 5 =0x20 -> suppress errors
significant) bit 6 = 0x40 -> suppress status
