Command Line Options The following Command Line Options are available when initially starting the diagnostic program from within its directory. Type QAPLPRO/XXX (where /XXX represents one of the following from the list below) then press Enter. Command /B&W /LOG=file /INT10 /OXXX /USRCONFIG =file /SCRIPT =file[,R] Action The /B&W command line option forces the program to load in Black and White (Monochrome) mode, which is often more readable on laptop computers. The /LOG=file command line option directs the test programs to start using a specified Error Log file. The /INT10 command line option forces the test programs to use the BIOS for screen writes. The /OXXX command line option, where XXX=test group (for example, MBD/MEM/VID/HDU/ FDU/KBD/COM/LPT, and so on), omits the designated test group from testing. The /USERCONFIG=file command line option tells the test programs to look for a user diagnostic configuration file other than the default USERDIAG.CFG. The /SCRIPT=file[,R] command line option with the ",R" runs the selected script. Please see "Scripting" on page 217 for a description of scripting. Note: You can use a "-" instead of a "/" as the command line switch. Viewing the Test Groups As you move the cursor bar up or down in the Test Module Selection window, the right hand screen changes to show the attributes, parameters, and the selected tests of the corresponding Test Group. The ♦ indicates a module selected for testing. The indicated attributes are characteristics of the selected test module that are used by the test programs to determine which tests to run or how to run selected tests. Attributes are also used to limit the allowable range of parameters (for example, - ending cylinder). Parameters are values you select to establish the scope of tests. For example, you can select Extended Memory testing parameters and limit the testing to a specific range of test blocks by specifying the starting and ending memory block. This might be appropriate if prior experience indicates that problems are likely to exist in a 216 IBM PC 300/700, IntelliStation Series HMM
