Overview
The HP Vision Field Diagnostics utility allows you to view information about the hardware configuration of the workstation and perform hardware diagnostic tests on the subsystems of the workstation. The utility simplifies the process of effectively identifying, diagnosing, and isolating hardware issues.
The Survey tab is displayed when you invoke HP Vision Field Diagnostics. This tab shows the current configuration of the workstation. From the Survey tab, there is access to several categories of information about the workstation. Other tabs provide additional information, including diagnostic test options and test results. The information in each screen of the utility can be saved as an html file and stored on a diskette or USB flash drive.
Use HP Vision Field Diagnostics to determine if all the devices installed on the workstation are recognized by the system and functioning properly. Running tests is optional but recommended after installing or connecting a new device.
You should run tests, save the test results, and print them so that you have printed reports available before placing a call to the Customer Support Center.
