About the Test Programs
When Test Log starts, the test programs create a log with the
following information:
– The date and time the log was opened
– The start and end times of each module tested and for each
test selected for that module
– The results of testing
– The date and time the log was closed
Disabling the Test Log writes the date and time to the Test Log
along with a message that the log was closed. Any Test Log is
closed automatically when the program finishes.
If you enable Test Log, the hardware configuration is entered
automatically at the beginning of the log.
If you select ASCII File, the test programs prompt you to type
in the name of the Test Log file. The test programs
automatically assign the extension .LOG to the file if you do not
specify a file-name extension. The file is stored in ASCII text
format. You can then examine the file with most word
processors and text editors at a later time.
If you select .DBF File, the test programs prompt you to fill in
the information on an Open DBF File screen. This creates a new
file or opens an existing data base compatible file to insert new
information on the current test machine. The Machine Type,
Serial Number, and Work Center lines identify the system that
is being tested.
Note: If you plan to run hard disk tests and to do test logging,
do the test logging on a drive other than the drive to be
tested. If you log to a drive that is to be tested, the
logging is disabled for the remainder of the test cycle.
