Main

Objective

Exercise most

of the drive’s
functionality
without re-

quiring any
cartridge to be

inserted.

In default mode

the test exer-
cises the
drive’s typical

conditions of
continuous

read and writes
without being
connected to

any host.

Test the Drive

as comprehen-
sive and fast
as possible.

Test the Drive

as comprehen-
sive and fast
as possible.

The tool can
also be used to

verify tapes.

Requests the

Drive to per-
form diagnostic
tests on itself.

This includes
both parameter

list and stand-
ard predefined
sequences.

Request the

Drive to per-
form parameter
list defined se-

quences with-
out any kind of

limitations.
