IBM 8688 manual Cycle Test Mode, Cycle TLimit Hrs, Cycle TLimit Min, Passes in Cycle, Test Order

Cycle Test Mode

Specifies the test mode in a cycle. The cycle test modes are:

Mode	Description
Timebound	Specify how long the test is to run. Type the hours in the Time
	Limit Hrs field and the minutes in the Time Limit Min field, and
	press Enter. The maximum setting for the number of hours is 999.
	The maximum setting for the number of minutes is 59.
Passbound	Set the number of passes (up to 65,535) for the selected AMIDiag
	tests in the Number of Passes field, or press Enter to accept the
	default (run each selected diagnostic test once).

Cycle TLimit Hrs

Specifies the time period in hours in case of Timebound test mode.

Cycle TLimit Min

Specifies the time period in minutes in case of Timebound test mode.

Passes in Cycle

Specifies the number of passes in a cycle, in case of cycle Passbound test mode. Individual tests also have a count specifying how many times they are to be run.

Test Order

The test order parameters are:

Parameter	Description
Default	The selected AMIDiag tests are run in exactly the same order in
	which they were selected.
Random	The selected AMIDiag tests are run in a random manner.
Testwise	The selected AMIDiag tests are run in the order in which they
	appear on the AMIDiag menus.

Wait on Error

This field can be set to YES or NO. If set to YES, the AMIDiag program waits for you to press any key after finding every error.

Break Test on Error

This field can be set to YES or NO. If set to YES, the AMIDiag program stops running after it finds an error.

Interactive

Select this parameter to run the interactive tests in interactive mode. Your input is required in an interactive test. The default value for this parameter is No.

If this parameter is set to NO, all diagnostic tests that support the interactive flag and cannot be run without your input will not run. If the test can be run without your input but it is impossible to decide if the test has passed or failed without your input, the test will run, but it will always pass.

If this parameter is set to YES and the test cannot be run without your input, it runs and will wait for your input as appropriate. If the test can be run without your input but it is impossible to decide if the test has passed or failed without your input, the test runs and it will wait for your decision whether the test passed.

Quick test

This parameter specifies that tests must be run in quick test mode.
