Diagnostics and Software Setup
A diagnostics utility ships with the controller to help you verify that your
controller functions correctly and also to identify any potential conflict between
it and another device in the computer.
Using the Diagnostics Utility
Compaq Diagnostics will perform three tests on the controller:
n Quick Check Diagnostics reports whether components on your
controller are working correctly.
n Automatic Diagnostics verifies transmit and receive functions on the
controller by running a suite of diagnostics tests for a specified number
of times or continuously.
n Interactive Diagnostics verifies transmit and receive functions of the
controller by returning the transmitted signal back to the controller
through a loopback plug. This selection differs from Automatic
Diagnostics in that the user can select specific tests from the suite of
available tests, and each test is run one time only.
System Requirements
To run these diagnostics, the computer
n Must have at least 530K of free memory
n Must not be running in protected mode (i.e., it cannot be running
Windows, EMM386, or other memory managers). You can, however,
run HIMEM.SYS and drivers needed for a mouse.
