in the Setup Utility.
Command | Action |
---|---|
/AN | Enables automatic testlog numbering. A sequential number will be added to testlogs automatically. This number is stored in the file PCDR.NUM, which can be edited using the text editor. PC-Doctor will automatically add a testlog number if the file PCDR.NUM exists. To disable this feature you must delete the PCDR.NUM file. |
/BA:xx | Start batch mode testing of overlay number 'xx'. The overlay number must be in the range of 1-10. For this switch to be useful, it should be combined with the '/PR:nnnn' switch and possibly also the /EO and /HE switches. At the end of batch mode testing, PC-Doctor returns with an ERROR- -LEVEL that is set to 0 for no erors, 1 if any tests failed or 2 if testing was aborted. |
/DJ | Direct Joystick I/O. This will force PC-Doctor to read joystick status and position directly from the hardware. |
/EO | Log error only. If selected, PC-Doctor will only log tests that produced a FAILED result. You can use this switch to bypass PASSED and N/A test results in order to produce shorter test logs. |
/HE | Enables halt-on-errors mode. If PC-Doctor encounters a failed diagnostic test, it ask the user if it should continue or abort testing. |
/ID:nnnn | Adds the text string 'nnnn' to the top of the test log for identification purposes. If you want to use spaces in the text string, you must encapsulate the entire statement starting with the /ID: in quotes, for example: PCDR /HE "/ID:This string has spaces" /ST |
/MS:xx | Runs a batch-mode Maximum System Load Test for 'xx' minutes The number of minutes must be in the range of 2 to 9999. PC-Doctor returns with an ERRORLEVEL that is set to 0 for no errors, 1 if any tests failed, or 2 if testing was aborted. |
/NN | Disables checking for network cards. Use this switch if the system hangs while checking for network cards. |
/NOMOUSE | Disables the mouse. |
/NP | No prompting. Use this switch with the /BA:xx switch to bypass prompting for serial and parallel port loopback tests |
/NS | Disables checking for sound cards. |
/NSC | Disables checking for SCSI cards. |
/NV | Bypass virus test. |
/PC:xx | Set the pass count to 'xx'. The number of passes must be in the range of 1 to 9999. PC-Doctor repeats diagnostic tests for the indicated number of passes. |
/PR:nnnn | Send test log output to a file 'nnnn' or to a device. The name of a file can include a path, for example 'C:\TESTLOG.TXT' or a device, 'PRN'. |
/ST | Enables all hardware checking. When this switch is enabled all equipment that has a known hardware bug will show 'failed' after testing. If a hardware bug is found when this switch is enabled, it does not mean the equipment is defective. Rather, the hardware in question might contain a bug which does not hinder its performance. |
