About diagnostics

Hardware diagnostics can be run on the entire system or on individual components of the system. These tests will use the entire capacity of the selected option. During the test the involved components will not be usable. An overview of all results and possible issues will be generated after the diagnostics have been completed. These can be stored in a log file.

About logs

Logs only contain system information.

Prerequisites

The Encore3 must be idle before the diagnostics can be run.
