DESCRIPTION: This command is exactly the same command used in
the utility menu and as such it displays the results of the tests on BOTH
the MCG-2 screen and the PC screen. The results of the RS232 loop
test are not sent to the PC as a loop plug cannot be installed while the
PC is connected to the MCG-2. However, if you would like your
software to be able to conduct the RS232 loop test, simply echo back
all characters sent by the MCG-2 after the results of the ROM test. The
test string sequence, in ASCII, is as follows:

(space)1

(space)1

(space)1

Spaces are 32d (ASCII).

Possible results of the RAM and ROM tests are as follows:

Testing RAM...(space)RAM Test Passed!

Testing RAM...(space)RAM Test Failed.

Testing ROM...(space)ROM Test Passed!

Testing ROM...(space)ROM Test Failed.

Each line ends with a carriage return (13d), linefeed (10d).

One easy way to interpret the results of the tests is to look for either a
period or an exclamation point just before the carriage return, line feed.
