In certain situations, a device may need to disable a test. For example, the disk drive module disables all
physical write tests because they are destructive. Tests that are disabled can be easily re-enabled by
double-clicking the test and clearing the disable check box. Disabled tests are represented by a faded blue
icon.
Remove Tests
In certain situations, tests need to be completely removed from the configuration tree because there is no way
for the test to possibly run. For example, if the USB module detects the current system does not support
USB2.0, it removes all USB2.0-specific tests from the configuration tree.
Remove Devices
When a module’s entire suite of tests are incapable of running, the entire device should be removed. For
example, when the USB module detects that a system has no USB controllers, it removes itself completely
from the configuration tree.
Clone Devices
Modules that support an undetermined number of devices (such as hard drives) have the ability to clone and rename
itself within the configuration. See
Figure 3-19.

Change Parameter Values
Devices within the template configuration usually have default parameter values. When a module probes the
actual hardware, it usually updates the parameter values to accurately reflect the state of the hardware.
