The
Hardware Diagnostics utility lets you run a series of diagnostic tests that determine if the basic hardware is functional. These tests include:
- Memory read/write - This test only makes a read or write access to the memory in order to read or write a byte, word (2 bytes) and long word (4 bytes) to or from the memory. For this task, the user needs to set the options in the Memory Access group.
- Scope loop - This test makes read and write accesses to memory in a loop at the target address. The time between accesses is given by the loop speed settings. The loop can only be stopped by the user, which cancels the test. For this type of test, the user needs to set the memory access settings and the loop speed.
- Memory tests - This test requires the user to set the access size and target address from the access settings group and the settings present in the Memory Tests group.
