Cannot start tools
You may not be able to start tools, or perform initiation tasks, in the following instances:
When the system is very busy
When you have multiple tools running (especially if any of the tools is set to Maximum stress or Coverage
level)
When the system has limited resources
In the first instance, the UIActLog will indicate a timeout when attempting to start the tool. In the second instance, the
activity log for the tool you are trying to run will indicate a timeout when attempting to initialize.
In both of these instances, keep retrying, or wait for a time when the system is less busy and retry.
Also, some tools (e.g., Expert Tools) require that you have a license to run them. If you do not have a license to run a
particular tool, or if it is not installed, you will not see it listed as an available tool. In this instance, you should
examine current device status (type "currdevstatus"); a listing of all licensed and non-licensed tools for a specific
device will be displayed.
If necessary, install the license and try to run the tool again.

Main Window
The main window displays the system map, which provides configuration information, test status, and forward
progress indicators, as appropriate.
It is also the starting point for accessing all other system functions and commands.
System Map
The easiest way to determine the last state of a device is by checking the "Last Op Status" field on the system map,
and noting any text displayed.
The following is a list of possible statuses with their meanings:
Status Description
------ -----------
(blank) The device has not been tested

SUSPENDED Suspended by the user
HUNG The operation has hung
ABORTED The operation was aborted
