Using the Device Groups Menu
The Device Groups menu at the bottom of the screen provides options that enable you to select and run specific diagnostic
tests from the diagnostics main screen. Press the left- and right-arrow keys to select the options on the menu. As you move
from one menu option to another, a brief explanation of the highlighted option appears on the bottom line of the screen.
If you want more information about a device group or device, highlight the Help option and press <Enter>. After you read
the information, press <Esc> to return to the previous screen.
Device Groups Menu Options
Five options are listed at the bottom of the diagnostics main screen: Run Tests, Devices, Select, Config, and Help.
There are two ways to select a menu option:
Look on the screen to see which letter in the option is capitalized, and type that letter (for example, type r to select
the Run option).
Move the highlight to the option you want to select by pressing the left- or right-arrow key, and then press <Enter>.
Whenever one of the options is selected, additional choices become available.
The following subsections explain the menu options as listed from left to right in the Device Groups menu.
Run Tests
Run Tests displays seven options:
One — Runs all the devices within the highlighted device group.
All — Runs all of the tests in all of the device group tests (device group tests are run in the same order that they are
listed).
Select — Runs only the selected device groups or the devices that you selected within the device groups.
Options — Provides a set of global parameters that allow you control over how the device group tests or device tests
are run and how results are reported.
