To diagnose a selected device or devices, the target device(s) must not only support diagnostics, it must also currently
be idle.
When you first start to diagnose a device(s), the device(s) state on the device map will be changed to "RUNNING".
If the operation requires you to interact with the interface, the device state will change to "Query Pending". If the UI
started the tool, the query will display automatically. If the UI did not start the tool, you must click on the device, or
select Display "Query Pending" from the "Tools --> Tools Management" menu, to display the query.
Once the diagnose operation has completed, this state will change to "Success", "WARNING", or "FAILURE", as
appropriate.
You should then consult the Failure Log... for information on tool failures, and the Activity Log... for all other tool
activity information.

Exercise
Use this function to exercise all selected devices for which an exerciser exists. The purpose of the exerciser procedure
is to stress the target hardware in a way that meets or exceeds the stress typically placed on that hardware in the
customer environment. Exercisers are not generally interactive.
To exercise a selected device or devices, the target device(s) must not only support exercise operations, it must also

Firmware Update
Use this function to initiate the firmware update process for a selected device. While the user interface to the firmware
update tools is generic, the tools themselves are device-specific.
This function is only valid when exactly one device is selected, that device is not currently busy, and the device
supports the firmware update process.
A new window is automatically created so that you can communicate directly with the firmware update tool(s).
NOTE: Be sure that you put the firmware file on the UUT before starting the update process.
CAUTION: Make sure you select the correct firmware file for the device! Updating a device with incorrect firmware
