About PC test software DIFS16P 1.3

The DIFS16P PC (Diagnosis Inventory Feedback in Service 16 bit) diagnostic tool is a
SW-independent tool to check the PC hardware.
It is self booting from CD, and has its own operating system.
A "Burn-In Test" is possible.
Predefined test scripts are defined for a "Quick Test".
Test results are not intended to be stored on PC or other removable devices.
NOTE
The goal of the tests featured by this tool is to decide
whether to:
Change single HW components
Change the complete HW
Reload SW on the existing HW
DIFS16P can be controlled by mouse or keyboard.
To navigate with the keyboard, use the arrow keys or the highlighted hotkeys which are
activated by the "Alt"-Key (in DIAGNOSIS Configure, for example: to set the level of a test
to level 2 use the combination Alt+2).
To switch between the navigation and the worktop use the left and right arrow keys.

Levels 0

The Test and Diagnosis Tool DIFS16P has 4 major characteristics.
¹ It provides information about the hardware inventory and it offers testing and
diagnosis functionality in different degrees of inspection.
¹ It offers a short, general test suite named "Level 1" to help you find out which
component is defective, checking basic functionality.
This level has a maximum duration of 5 minutes (hardware dependent).
¹ It offers another test suite named "Level 2," whose purpose is to test at a higher
degree of inspection.
This level is quality oriented and therefore takes more time.
¹ You can also choose "Level 3" in the "Configured Diagnosis," which tests at the
deepest level.
To run a test several times, you can specify "Cycles" in the "Configured Diagno-
sis" menu.

Integrated diagnosis modules 0

Real time clock
Analyses the real time clock
System monitoring
Thermal control and fan diagnostics
Processor
Processor diagnostic: this operates with a number of different mathematical functions
Memory
Memory/second level cache test:
Level 1 is configured to run a maximum of 5 min in butterfly test mode.
Level 2 is configured to run on 100% of the memory with the butterfly test and the random
sequence test.
Level 3 is configured to run on 100% of the memory with the alternate block test, line
bounce test, random block test, random address test, butterfly test, and random sequence
test.
Graphics
Checks the video memory chips with several patterns.
Hard disk
Read-only test for IDE and SCSI hard disk drives.
Level 1 is configured to run for a maximum of 2 min of reading.
Level 2 makes a 20-minute read test and then starts the smart self test.
Level 3 is configured to run on 100% of the hard disks. It starts the smart, short, and
extended tests.
Optical drives
CD/DVD test, using MSCDEX (IDE and SCSI).
Mouse
Diagnostic for PS2/USB mouse via reset/enable/disable/interface-test.
Serial and parallel port
Serial/parallel port register diagnostics
Firewire IEEE 1394
Tests communication with all firewire devices attached.
Keyboard
Diagnostic for PS2/USB keyboard via reset/enable/disable/interface-test.
