Also some key caps have characters that cannot be displayed with the text

 

characters available. Therefore, when running the keyboard test on a foreign

 

keyboard, the POSITION of the key within the keyboard should match the

 

POSITION of the key shown on the display, not necessarily the character printed on

 

the key (although in nearly all cases, it does match). When -x is specified, the extra

 

key appears as >< before the SP key.

-1

Mark all tests for quickest test available. This has the same effect as using the <M>

 

command once and is mainly used with the -r switch.

-2

Mark all tests for standard test available. This has the same effect as using the <M>

 

command twice and is mainly used with the -r switch

-3

Mark all tests for longest test available. This has the same effect as using the <M>

 

command thrice and is mainly used with the -r switch.

EDOCK

An undocumented/hidden Diag switch: Set the dock serial number. Use this

 

undocumented switch to set the dock serial number in the dock EEPROM. The date

 

and time must be valid, and the date must be Jan 1 1996 or later. The serial

 

number is set to the following code: MDDHHMMS where M is month 1-9 A-C, DD is

 

day 01-31, HH is hour 00-23, MM is minute 00-59, and S is seconds 0-5 (tens of

 

seconds only).

User interface commands

The user interface commands of the diagnostics program are divided into three groups: commands that select tests, commands that toggle test settings, and commands that set test parameters.

Commands for test selection

The following table describes the various commands used to select test within the diagnostics program.

Table 5 - Diagnostic Test Selection Commands

Command

Description

Down

Highlight the next test. At the bottom, wrap to the top test.

Up

Highlight previous test. At the top, wrap to the bottom test.

Home

Highlight the top test.

End

Highlight the bottom test.

Space

Mark the highlighted test. Tests that permit multiple levels progress from the

 

quickest test to the longest test then back to not selected.

M

Mark all tests. If no tests are selected, <M> will select all tests to run at the

 

quickest possible level. Another <M> sets all tests to the standard level.

 

Another <M> sets the longest possible level. Another <M> unselects all tests. If

 

any other mixture of tests is selected all tests are unselected.

Enter

Run all selected tests. <Enter> is used to begin running a group of selected

 

tests. If no tests are selected, the highlighted test is run at the standard level.

1 2 3

Run highlighted test ONLY (short, standard, long). If short or long is not

 

available for the specified test, the standard test is run.

<Backspace>

Stop current test. The <Backspace> key is universally used to abort a test that

 

is running. Some tests may not be able to quickly respond to the keyboard and

 

it may be necessary to depress the key a few times or hold the key down for it to

 

be recognized.

Esc

Exit Self-test. Upon exit, the Diag display is cleared and the DOS display is

 

restored. Every attempt is made to restore all settings to their previous state
