CSA8000B & TDS8000B User Manual
Perform the Hardware and Operating System Tests (Windows 98 Only)
NOTE. The procedures in this section only apply to instruments using the
MS Windows 98 operating system. Instruments using the MS Windows 2000
operating system do not include the QAPlus/Win software.
These procedures verify the instrument hardware functions. A diagnostics
program called QAPlus/Win is used to make the verifications. No equipment is
required.
QA+Win32 is a comprehensive software application used to check and verify the
operation of the PC hardware in the main instrument. This procedure uses
QA+Win32 to verify the instrument hardware. To run QA+Win32, you must
have either a working keyboard or a working mouse or other pointing device and
have Windows 98 running.
CAUTION. Before running the QA+Win32 tests, be aware of the following
problems and work-arounds.
H The QA+Win32 discrete memory test fails if the system being tested
contains more than 16 megabytes of RAM.
Since your product ships with more than 16 megabytes of RAM, please
follow the procedure for Checking the Har dware and Operating System on
page 1--39.
NOTE. Do not run the memory test from the Memory icon.
H The QA+Win32 hard drive test may report an incorrect number of tracks and
cylinders for your hard drive.
This is an internal mapping problem, but has no effect on the results of the
test. Bad sectors on your hard drive are still found and marked.
H The QA+Win32 keyboard test does not respond correctly to keys used by
Windows 98.
Keyboards made for use with Windows contain two or three keys specific to
that operating system. These are usually located on either side of the space
bar. QA+Win32 does not trap these keys when performing the keyboard test.
Do not press them.
