Test: The name of each test to be performed. If some of the test names are unfamiliar, don't worry. They test specific sections of the MCMaster hardware.
Active: As each test is running, the diagnostic will place a flashing asterisk in this column. This keeps you notified of the diagnostic's progress.

Running All Tests
The simplest way to use the diagnostic is to press the [A] (All) key and allow all of the selected tests to run. Each test in turn will be highlighted as it runs, and the results will be posted in the status window.
