Installing Additional Test Programs
Installing Additional Test Programs
You can add other test programs to the PC Server Diagnostic
Diskette. These other programs are usually provided on the diskette
that comes with a device. After you add the programs to the PC
Server Diagnostic Diskette, you can include information from the
programs in the Test Log.
Before the test programs can find these programs to run as the User
Diags test group, information about them must be included in a file
called USERDIAG.CFG. This is an ASCII text file. It must include
the following three items for each test to run:
Ÿ Program Name (.COM and .EXE files only)
Ÿ Test Description of the test to be run
Ÿ Command-line parameters to be passed to the program
identified in the first item of this list
The PC Server Diagnostic Diskette includes a sample file called
SAMPLE.CFG.
The user diagnostic tests must generate the following return codes
upon completion so that the test results register properly in the test
log:
0 The test passed.
1 The test failed.
2 or greater The test aborted.
Abort messages from the user diagnostic test program
also report the ABORT return code.
Notes:
1. All of the information for a given test must be on a single
line, and a semicolon (;) must separate the items on the
line.
2. Make sure you press Enter at the end of each line of text
in the USERDIAG.CFG file. This creates a carriage return
line feed (CR LF), which is necessary for the User
Diagnostics to be found and run.
