Display or save test results
●
Run thorough tests to introduce additional test options and provide extra information about the failed device(s)
●
View status messages that indicate if the tests are completed successfully

NOTE:
Some tests are meant for specific devices and require user interaction. Ensure that you are present in front of the
computer when the diagnostic tests are performed.
