2.6 Test Sequence

Click Calculate Time to get an estimate of the time it will take to run the selected diagnostics.
- Short Tests: The short test performs a pattern of walking ones and zeros.
- Long Tests: The long test performs a pattern of walking ones, walking zeroes, 0xaaaa, 0x5555, and possibly others. As a result, selecting the long test results in a more exhaustive test. If the problem is highly intermittent, try a long test.
note:
Do not change the Test Options settings from their default settings unless instructed to do so by a GE Healthcare engineer. There are very few circumstances when these settings ever need to be changed.
Click Run to initiate the test.
