Test Options

Each option that appears on the Options Menu is briefly described below.

ŸHalt on Error: The default is No. If you select Yes, you can resume testing after a halt by pressing any key. If you select No, any error detected is logged (only if you enabled the Test Log) and the program continues testing without halting.

ŸBeep on Error: The default is No. If you select Yes, a beep sounds whenever the test program detects an error.

ŸLap Count: This option allows you to set the number of times to run each group of tests. The default setting is 1. You can enter a number from 0 to 10. The looping is controlled on a block basis, not on an individual test basis. Therefore, if you select tests A, B, and C and the Lap Count is set to 3, the test sequence is ABC/ABC/ABC.

ŸPause Control: You can choose to have the test programs pause between test modules and wait for you to press any key to continue. Also, you can choose to have the test program wait for a user response to indicate if the video tests pass. The default setting is Pause Between. The available choices are Pause Between and No Pause. If you choose No Pause, the test programs continue testing without a pause from one video test to the next, and from one test module to the next.

ŸTest Log: Allows you to select whether or not to do logging. You can select one of the following five choices:

–No Logging

–COM1

–LPT1

–ASCII

–.DBF

No Logging is the only selection that turns off Test Log. The other four selections enable Test Logging.
