Additional options
The RIO Diagnostics utility allows you to add other control and i nformation display
commands to your command line instructions. The avai lable options are detailed in the next
table
Option Description
-soak This option causes all the selected tests to be repeated
continuously until the program is interrupted by your pressing
CTRL+BREAK, or an error is detected.
-cont This option causes the application to continue if possible after an
error has been detected. The default mode of operation is for the
diagnostics to stop execution as soon as an error is detected.
-board <number> If more than one host card is installed in the machine you can use
this option to indicate which host card to perform the tests on.
Valid <numbers> are 0,1, 2 and 3.
-isa <addr> This option allows t he user to specify the address(es) of RIO ISA
cards installed in the system. Addresses are given in the format
‘0xc0000,0xd0000,0xe0000,0xf0000’. If no addresses are
specified the application shall search through valid addresses
looking for AT host cards.
-testarea Host cards can only be tested if they are mapped in memory
address space below 256 Mbytes. If cards are mapped in outside
this range, the diagnostics will detect this and exit with a warning.
If the ‘-testarea’ option is specified this instructs the diagnostics to
test the host cards above 256Mbytes.
-help, -h This option overrides all other options and displays a help
message documenting the function of the diagnostics and
displaying the command line options.

information from the host card(s) under test.

(Max. 4 cards), their physical addresses, slots and so on.
