SunButtons Test (sunbuttons)

This test verifies that the SunButtons^(TM) graphics manipulation device is working correctly.

From a .customtest File In the non-interactive mode (from a .customtest file) this test verifies that each button functions; each button lights up in a round-robin fashion.

Here is an example of a .customtest entry for sunbuttons:

sunbuttons;sunbuttons;.text<TEXT|20|-s|>

From a Shell Command Line This is an interactive test. The test displays a screen representation of the buttonbox (see Figure 25-1) where you can press each of the buttons and see the corresponding button's display change. To run the diagnostic test, select the Diagnostics Button on the top of the menu representation. The buttonbox buttons on the screen do not change while the diagnostics test is running.

To run the test, select the Diagnostics button. As the test runs, each button lights in a round-robin fashion.

Be sure that the buttonbox is connected to one of the serial ports, and that the buttonbox has a power transformer.

There is no option menu for this test.
