The default is 1. 0000 through 9999, where 0000 means that there is no error limit.The default is 1. Yes, No Allows you to decide whether tests will wait for user input. The default is Yes to wait for user input. Display, Printer, File If you have a printer attached to the computer, you can use it to print the status messages, if any, that are generated when a test runs. (The printer must be turned on and in the online mode to print.) If you select File, the messages are printed to a file named result on a diskette in drive A. The default is Display.

This parameter specifies the number of times the tests run when you select Run. To change the default, type the desired value. If you type 0 (zero), the tests will run indefinitely. This parameter specifies the maximum number of errors that can occur before testing is stopped. The error count begins from zero each time you run a subtest or test group individually or each time you select All to run all of them. To change the default, type the desired value. If you type 0 (zero), you are specifying that there be no limit on the number of errors that can occur-testing will not be stopped, regardless of the number of errors. If this parameter value is set to Yes, the diagnostics pauses when one of the following occurs: Your interaction is needed to verify the Video Test Group screens or the Keyboard Test Group key functions, or another type of interaction, such as inserting a diskette, is required. The maximum error limit is reached. If the Pause parameter is set to No, the diagnostics ignores some subtests that require your interaction; certain subtests can run only if this option is set to Yes because they require user interaction.
