Accessing HP Vision Field Diagnostics on the workstation
The following procedures describe how to access the HP Vision Field Diagnostics utilities that are
included in the workstation software.
Creating and using a bootable USB key
This section describes how to use a USB key to access the HP Vision Field Diagnostics.

In the C:\VisionDiagnostics\ directory, double-click on VisionDiagUSB.exe. A setup menu
appears.
2.
Follow the setup prompts to create a bootable ISO image of the diagnostic utilities on a USB key.
3.
Turn off the workstation and restart it with the USB key installed. The workstation will boot to the
USB key and initiate the HP Vision Field Diagnostics utility.
4.
Follow the HP Vision Field Diagnostic prompts to troubleshoot the workstation.
Creating and using a bootable DVD
This section describes how to use a DVD to access the HP Vision Field Diagnostics.
1.
In the C:\VisionDiagnostics\ directory, double-click on the VisionDiagISO.exe file. A setup menu
appears.
2.
Follow the setup prompts to create a bootable ISO image of the diagnostic utilities on a DVD.
3.

Using the HP Memory Test utility
This section describes how to access the HP Memory Test utility.
NOTE:
The HP Memory Test is a comprehensive memory diagnostic utility that is run as a stand-alone
application, outside of HP Vision Field Diagnostics.
If the workstation is booted from a CD, a separate boot CD will be required to use the memory
diagnostic. Hence, HP recommends that a USB key be used to boot the diagnostic utilities. It is faster
than using a CD, and it accommodates both Memory and Vision diagnostics.
1.
In the C:\VisionDiagnostics\ directory, double-click on the MemoryDiagISO.exe file. A setup
menu appears.
2.
Follow the setup prompts to create a bootable ISO image of the memory diagnostic utility on a
DVD.
3.
Turn off the workstation and restart it with the DVD installed in the optical drive. The workstation
will boot to the DVD and initiate the memory diagnostic utility.
4.
Follow the diagnostic prompts to troubleshoot workstation memory.
