Command Line Options

Command Line Options
The following Command Line Options are available when initially loading the diagnostic program from within its directory of a DOS operating system. Loading QAPlus/PRO from a DOS system command line allows selected tests and options to run with minimum memory.

At a DOS operating system prompt, where the QAPlus/PRO files reside, type QAPLPRO /XXX (where XXX represents one or more of the following from the list below) then, press Enter.

Command Action /B&W The /B&W command line option forces the program to load in Black and White (Monochrome) mode, which is often more readable on laptop computers. /LOG=file The /LOG=file command line option directs the test programs to start using a specified Error Log file. /INT10 The /INT10 command line option forces the test programs to use the BIOS for screen writes. /OXXX The /OXXX command line option, where XXX=test group (for example, MBD, MEM, VID, HDU, FDU, KBD, COM, LPT, and so on), omits the designated test group from loading. /OALL The /OALL command line option omits all test groups from loading. This command can be used in conjunction with the /IXXX command. /IXXX The /IXXX command line option, where XXX=test group (for example, MBD, MEM, VID, HDU, FDU, KBD, COM, LPT, and so on), loads the designated test group for testing. This option is helpful if you have insufficient memory available to load all of the test programs simultaneously. /USRCONFIG =file The /USERCONFIG=file command line option tells the test programs to look for a user diagnostic configuration file other than the default USERDIAG.CFG. /SCRIPT =file[,R] The /SCRIPT=file[,R] command line option with the ',R' runs the selected script. Please see 'Scripting' for a description of scripting. Note You can use a '-' instead of a '/' as the command line switch.
