How to run a test using RIO Hardware Diagnostics
To test the host cards on your system using the RIO Hardware Diagnostics program, proceed
as follows;
1. Ensure your RIO host cards are installed and configured correctly before running these
tests. See Installing a Universal 3.3/5V PCI host card on page 156 and Installing an
ISA host card on page 158 in Chapter 2 Installing hardware and software .
2. On each host card under test, loopback the ports on the host card by linking ports 1 and 2
using a RIO link cable and do the same for ports 3 and 4.
3. Copy the RIO diagnostics program riodiags.exe from the CDROM to a DOS bootable
disk. You can find the diagnostics program under:
rio/diags/hostdiag/riodiags.exe
4. Boot your system using the disk you have made.
You can use the diagnostics program to run the type of test you require.
Note
You can install up to a maximum of four host cards in the test machine. The cards can be
a mixture of types.
Note
You must use DOS 3.1 or above to run the diagnostics program.
