Using Device Groups

When Select Devices to Test is selected from the Diagnostics menu, the main diagnostics screen appears.

Information on the main screen of diagnostics is presented in the following areas:

  • Two lines at the top of the main screen identify the diagnostics and give its version number.

  • On the left side of the screen, the Device Groups area lists the diagnostics device groups in the order they will run if you select All under the Run Tests submenu. Press the up- or down-arrow key to highlight a device group.

  • On the right side of the screen, the Devices for Highlighted Group area lists the specific devices within a particular test group.

  • Two lines at the bottom of the screen make up the menu area. The first line lists the menu options you can select; press the left- or right-arrow key to highlight an option. The second line gives information about the highlighted option.
The Device Groups Menu

The Device Groups menu at the bottom of the screen allows selection of specific diagnostics tests from the diagnostics main screen. Press the left- and right-arrow keys to select the options on the menu. A brief explanation of the highlighted option appears at the bottom line of the screen.

More information about a device group or device may be obtained by highlighting the About option and pressing <Enter>. <Esc> returns the program to the previous screen.
