Use this window to customize the general behavior of the Diagnostic Service.
The following are the controls on the Advanced Settings window and descriptions of how to use them:
Halt On Error | Stops the tests if an error is encountered. The diskette, LS-120/240, CD, DVD, and CD-RW drive diagnostics do not stop if the diagnostic failed due to an error caused by invalid media or no media in the drive. |
Run Simultaneously | Enables tests to run at the same time rather than sequentially. |
Quick Test | Uses a faster algorithm to conduct a specific test if one is available. Quick Test is selected by default. If no errors are reported after running in Quick Test mode and you still believe the tested hardware has problems, it is recommended that you clear (deselect) Quick Test mode and run the same test again. |
Number of Passes | Specify the number of times you want tests to run. |
Minimum Time | Specify the minimum amount of time in minutes that you want to allow tests to run. This time is the minimum amount of time allowed for all selected tests, not the minimum time allowed for each test. |
Maximum Time | Specify the maximum amount of time in minutes that you want to allow tests to run. Tests running over this amount of time are aborted. This time is the maximum amount of time allowed for all selected tests, not the maximum time allowed for each test. |
Go Back to Selection Page | Returns you to the Diagnostic Selection window. |
Apply Changes | Commits the changes you have made to the Advanced Settings. |

NOTE: The Minimum Time and Maximum Time override the Number of Passes. |
