8.3.2 Quick Test function
The Quick Test allows full testing of bus physics and bus communication. The
test data is stored in the tool. It can subsequently be imported by the
PROFIBUS Diagnostics Suite software application.
To start the function, choose one of 10 internal memory locations. The display
indicates if the selected memory location is allocated or free. If you select an
allocated memory location, the previous test data will be overwritten.

The duration of a Quick Test depends on the baud rate, the number of slaves
and the current bus communication. It can take only a few seconds or up to
three minutes.
On completion of the test, press the acknowledgment key to cancel the status
display.
