| upon exit (no reboot necessary in most cases). |
Alt+F12 | Dump the text screen to a file named DIAG.xxx where xxx begins at 000 and |
| increases by one each time another screen dump is captured. Screen dumps |
| from previous runs of Diag are preserved. |
? or F1 | Display a help screen of keyboard commands. |
The following table describes the various commands used to toggle test settings within the diagnostics program.
Table 6 - Diagnostic Commands for Toggling SettingsCommand | Description |
|
| |
Ctrl+C | Toggle battery Charging on/off. This command sends a request to the charging | |||
| software in the BIOS to enable charging / disable charging. | |||
Ctrl+E | Toggle ignore Errors on/off (continue after error when on). Normally Diag stops | |||
| looping when an error occurs, but with this command, Diag will continue to loop | |||
| until all requested loops are complete. |
| ||
Ctrl+L | Toggle Logging to disk file (errors, all, all+status, none). This command appends | |||
| results to the file DIAG.LOG on the current drive and directory from which Diag | |||
| was run. The data logged is either: 1) only tests which fail, 2) all tests results, 3) | |||
| all test results, and all messages shown in the lower status window, or 4) none. | |||
| For looping tests, the loop count and time is logged at the start of each loop. If a | |||
| floppy or hard disk critical error happens when logging results, the normal “Abort, | |||
| Retry, Ignore” message may not be visible depending on the display mode. A | |||
| special error handler has been incorporated into diag to handle this case. A | |||
| flashing message will appear on the top line should an error of this type occur. | |||
| Press A, R, or I to continue. If no keyboard is available, press the Contrast Up | |||
| button to Retry, or the contrast Down button to Ignore the error. | |||
Ctrl+N | Toggle Noise (beep & flash) at test completion. When a test or set of tests | |||
| completes, Diag waits for the user to enter more commands. To help notify the | |||
| operator of when this happens, use Ctrl+N to cause Diag to invert the display and | |||
| sound a noise until the user responds in some way. | |||
Ctrl+P | Toggle Power management on/off. Tests that require measuring power levels | |||
| may require that Power management be on or off. This can be controlled directly | |||
| with this command. |
|
| |
Ctrl+T | Toggle between the four types of mouse tests. The HP mouse tests are 1) text | |||
| mode mouse test, 2) graphic mode sine wave mouse test, 3) combined text and | |||
| sine tests, and 4) graphic draw mode test. |
| ||
Ctrl+V | Toggle Verbose test status reporting. Some tests can report more detailed | |||
| information. These tests include: all dock related tests (reports voltages), the HP | |||
| and External mouse tests (reports x/y data and button status). | |||
Ctrl+W | Toggle printing to Wired serial port (errors, all, all+status, none). Like the | |||
| <Ctrl+L> command that logs results to disk, this command similarly logs results to | |||
| the com 1 serial port. |
|
| |
Alt+A | Toggle cAche on/off. If it is necessary to disable the cache, use this command. | |||
| Processor level commands are used to perform this operation. | |||
Alt+K | Toggle miKe on & line off, mike off & line on, both off. | |||
Alt+M | Toggle program control with Mouse on or off. Like the | |||
| Alt+M enables controlling Diag with a mouse. The mouse actions listed below | |||
| have the following keyboard equivalents: |
