Selecting a Test (Advanced Mode)

Note Selecting the advanced mode requires that you enter parameters for the drive you want to test.

Parameters you enter are used in configuring the SCSI Commands. In most cases, the default values are sufficient. Just press Enter and continue.

Note The Block Length is the sector size of the device. Do not modify this unless you are familiar with the behavior of the device under a different sector size.

If you need to modify the default values, put the cursor on the field to be modified and change the value; then, press Enter. A test list for the type of device selected is displayed.

The following test are available in standard test mode for the devices listed.

Test Descriptions (Advanced Mode): After selecting one of these test, a window is displayed which shows the following.

The SCSI command block that is going to carry out the test
The SCSI command block bytes
The time-out value in seconds
The expected number of data bytes transferred (The -1 value in the Time-out means indefinite wait.)

Note In most cases, the default values are sufficient. If you desire to modify any of the values in these windows, place the cursor on the field to be modified and change the value; then, press Enter. To issue the command, press F10.
