The icon panel shows an icon for each test available. When the Confidence test program initializes, it checks each test program to see if the device is installed. Double-click an icon to start the test running for a given device. An alternate way to start the test is to click an icon and then choose Start testing from the Test menu. If an icon is not present, either the corresponding test program is not installed or the test is installed but does not recognize that the device is installed.
The text output panel in the bottom half of the main window can tell you which of the above problems applies. If the test program is not installed, you do not see the message that says Probing for xxx (where xxx is your device).
 | Caution: A common problem occurs when the subsystem eoe.sw.optinput is not installed. This subsystem tests devices for the dials and buttons, spaceball, and tablet devices. If this subsystem is not installed, these devices cannot be tested. The ISDN test program is available from the isdn_eoe subsystem. Another common problem occurs when these devices are not configured when the Confidence test is invoked. These devices are typically configured from the System Manager, available from the Toolchest. |
