Installing Additional Test Programs
Installing Additional Test Programs
You can add other test programs to the Diagnostic Diskette. These
other programs are usually provided on the diskette that comes
with a device. After you add the programs to the 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:
Program Name (.COM and .EXE files only)
Test Description of the test to be run
Command-line parameters to be passed to the program
identified in the first item of this list
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 executed.
3. If the program executable file is in a directory other than
the QA directory (or other directory you have designated
to contain the QA files), that directory must be listed in
the PATH= section of the AUTOEXEC.BAT.
4. You can use a .CFG file other than USERDIAG.CFG if
you use the command line “USRCONFIG=filename,” when
running the diagnostic programs. For example, you
might use:
QAPLPRO /USRCONFIG=MYTESTS.CFG.
