Performing System Diagnostics
The AirSpeed 5000 Hardware Test is a diagnostic program that is designed to test the
Avid-specific hardware components in the AirSpeed 5000. Specifically, the diagnostic program
can be used to verify that the Avid hardware is working properly and it can confirm compatibility
with external audio and video devices.

Quit all applications before running the diagnostic program.
To access the diagnostic tool, navigate to C:\Program Files (x86)\Avid\Avid
AirSpeed\Utilities\DiagnosticUtilities, and select Airspeed5000Test.exe.
When you start the diagnostic program, it searches the system for the attached Avid hardware
and the AirSpeed 5000 product. Once the diagnostic program starts, it identifies the product and
displays the information at the top of the Diagnostic window.
Once the diagnostic window is open, the diagnostic program is ready to run. For information on
starting the Diagnostic program, see “Starting the Hardware Test” on page 165.
