Action

/AN

Enables

automatic

testlog

numbering. A

sequential

number

will

be

added to

testlogs

automatically. This

number

is

stored

in the file PCDR.NUM, which can be edited

using

the

text

editor. PC-Doctor will automatically add

a testlog

number

if

the

file PCDR.NUM exists. To disable this feature, you must

delete

the

PCDR.NUM

file.

/BA:xx

Start

batch

mode

testing

of

overlay

number

"xx". The overlay

number must be in the range

of 1- 10. For this switch to be

useful, it should be combined with the "/PR:nnnn" switch and

possibly

also the /EO and /HE

switches. At

the

end

of

batch

mode testing, PC-Doctor returns

with

an

ERRORLEVEL

that

is

set to 0 for no errors, 1

if any

tests

failed,

or

2

if

testing was

aborted.

/DJ

Direct

Joystick

I/O. This

will

force

PC-Doctor to read

joystick

status and

position

directly

from

the

hardware.

/EO

Log error only. If

selected,

PC-Doctor

will

only

log

tests

that

produce a FAILED result. You

can use this switch to bypass

PASSED

and

N/A

test

results

in

order

to

produce

shorter

test

logs.

/HE

Enables

halt-on-errors

mode. If

PC-Doctor encounters a failed

diagnostic test, it asks the

user

if

it

should

continue

or

abort

testing.
