Using the Custom Test Options

When you select Custom Test in the Main Menu window, the Customize

window allows you to select the device(s) to be tested, select specific options

for testing, and view the test results.

Selecting Devices for Testing

The left side of the Customize window lists devices that can be tested. Click

the (+) next to a device or module to view its components. Click (+) on any

component to view the tests that are available. Clicking a device, rather than

item is grayed-out and you wish to run that test, you can select it by

highlighting the item and pressing the spacebar.

NOTE:

After you select all the devices and components that you want to test,

highlight All Devices and then click Run Tests.
