When to Use the Embedded System Diagnostics

If a major component or device in the system does not operate properly,

component failure may be indicated. As long as the processor and the

system's input/output devices are functioning, you can use the system

diagnostics to help identify the problem.

Running the Embedded System Diagnostics

Use the system diagnostics to test only your system. Using this

program with other systems may cause invalid results or error messages.

1 As the system boots, press <F10> to start the controller.
2 Click Diagnostics in the left pane and click Launch Diagnostics in

the right pane.
