TESTING THE HARD DRIVE - 10

Utility Menu

The Utility Menu provides access to Test Data Ops, Time, and Comm 
Settings. To navigate through the utility menu, press the 

Next/No

 

button and continue until the function you wish to perform is 
displayed. Execute the choice by pressing the 

Select/Yes

 button.

Test Data Ops

This is a sub-menu that is used to manage the database and upload the 
saved data to a PC. Test Data Ops provides the following choices:

!

Upload Test Data

: Instructs the WD Quick Tester user to upload 

the database to a computing device attached to the other end of 
the serial cable. This is a ‘blind’ transfer (no hand shaking is 
required for the transfer). Once started, all used records are sent. 
See Appendix for cable requirements and data format.

!

Delete Data

: There are two options in this selection. The first 

deletes the most recent test record which can be useful if you abort 
an operation or need to delete the record. The second option 
causes the entire database to be deleted.

!

DB Memory Usage

: This displays the number of used records 

indicated by the message “

Recs: xxx/100

” where xxx is a number 

between 0 and 100. When the database is full, the tester will 
overwrite the earliest record in a circular fashion.

!

Done

: Return to the previous menu.

Time

The Time function allows setting of the hour, minute, second, and 
month/day/year (last 2 digits). The WD Quick Tester will not allow 
resetting of the date/time value if there is test data in the database.  
First, use the Test Data Ops sub menu to delete the database records. 
To edit this function, enter the Time option and press 

Select/Yes 

to 

edit the Time or Date.

The following describes the full procedure to set the Time:

1. When the Utility menu is displayed, press the 

Select/Yes

5. Press
