2.1 SunVTS Description

The SunVTS softwareexecutes multiple diagnostic hardwaretests from a single user
interface. SunVTS verifies the configuration, functionality,and reliability of most
hardware controllers and devices.
The SunVTS softwarecan be used in both the Common DesktopEnvironment (CDE)
and the OPEN LOOK graphical user interface (GUI) environments, or from a TTY
interface.
Withinthe CDE and OPEN LOOK GUI environments, test parameters can be set
quickly and easily by pointing and clicking a mouse button.
Witha TTY interface, the SunVTS software is used from a terminal or modem
attached to a serial port. Data is input through the keyboard, rather than with a
mouse, and only one screen of information is displayed at a time.
