Running the Dell Diagnostics: Dell Latitude CP
How to Use the Menu
One of the menu options is already highlighted at the bottom of the screen. You can move the
highlighting from one option to another by pressing the left- or right-arrow key. As you move
from one menu option to another, a brief explanation of the currently highlighted option
appears on the bottom line of the screen.
If you want more information about a test group or subtest, move the highlight to the About
option and press <Enter>. After reading the information, press <Esc> to return to the previous
screen.
Main Menu Options
The Main menu of the diagnostics main screen lists eight options: Run, Select, Subtest,
Options, Test Limits, About, Key-Help, and Quit.
NOTE: Before running any test groups or subtests (by selecting Run and then All),
you should consider setting global parameters within the Options option. They offer
you greater control over how the test groups or subtests are run and how their
results are reported.
There are two ways to select a menu option:
● Type the capitalized letter in the option (for example, type r to select the Run option).
● Use the left- or right-arrow key to highlight the option, and then press <Enter>.
Whenever one of the eight options is selected, additional choices become available.
The following subsections explain the menu options as listed from left to right in the Main menu.
Run
Run displays five options: One, Selected, All, Key-Help, and Quit Menu. If you select One, only
the highlighted test group is run. If you choose Selected, the computer runs the test groups or
the subtests selected within the test groups that you selected. (Specify the test groups or
subtests to be run within each test group, using the Select or Subtest option, respectively, as
described in the following subsections.) If you select All, all of the subtests in all of the test
groups are run. (The test groups or subtests are run in the same order as they are listed.)
