NAME

aedtest − IBM Academic Information Systems experimental display self-tests

SYNOPSIS

aedtest

DESCRIPTION

Aedtest invokes a suite of test routines to check the various components of the IBM Academic Information Systems experimental display unit.  Aedtest should be called following system installation to verify correct operation; thereafter, it may be called whenever desired. 

Since aedtest takes control of the display, it is best run as a foreground task.  Aedtest writes its findings in the files listed below, then returns control of the display to the user. 

Error indications should be reported to the user’s service support activity.  Occasionally, a “timeout” may be reported as an error. This does not necessarily mean a defect has been found. 

NOTE

Aedtest applies only to the IBM Academic Information Systems experimental display. 

FILES

diagnostic.lstresults of the aedtest session
aederrs.lstlisting of errors encountered

BUGS

Will sometimes report a “timeout” in the results files. This can happen even with reliable equipment, and does not necessarily indicate a display problem.
