Graphic mode mouse sine test
This mouse test is used to measure the maximum “sine effect” of the mouse.  To select this test,
press  once before running the mouse test.  When run, the screen switches to an
800x600 graphic mode, a blue box is drawn scaled to the expected distance the mouse can
move, and a prompt appears along top line as follows:      -10           +42                                    TOP      -3 OUT     -1034...

24Figure 12 - Mouse Test Screen (graphics mode)
As the prompt indicates, to run this test, you must move the mouse to the corner where the white
box is displayed (initially the top right corner).  When you activate BOTH bumpers at that corner,
the white box moves counterclockwise to the next corner.  KEEP THE MOUSE PRESSED
AGAINST THE TOP BUMPER AS YOU MOVE.  In order to ensure the mouse is moving in a
straight line, the mouse must stay in contact with the bumper.  As you move the mouse, the path
of the...

25BotEdgeErrindicates the maximum total sine error along the bottom edge.When the two cycles are complete, the maximum of the top and bottom errors is compared
against a test threshold.  If above, the test fails, else the test passes.  The default threshold is 10
pixels.  The threshold can be set with the command key .
NOTE: for test stations that have no “bumpers” to indicate edge detection, the operator must
move the mouse to the top right corner, then press either mouse button to indicate the mouse...

26Audio
Level: 2.  This test checks the SoundBlaster compatible audio sound system.  The DSP chip,
DMA Channel, and Interrupt Lines are checked for proper operation.  An audible sound test
completes the test; a bong sound alternating between left and right speakers should be heard.
Display
Levels: 1,2,3.  This test checks multiple display subsystems.  When manual testing is done, the
display pixels are first tested with 7 operator-paced test patterns: one each for white, red, green,
blue, and black; then...

27Dock keyboard
Levels: 1,2.  This test operates like the Keyboard test except that it uses a standard 101 key
keyboard connected to the dock.  The display shown during this test mirrors the layout of a
standard 101 key keyboard.  Its operation is similar to the internal keyboard test, but for an
external keyboard.

Levels: 1,2.  This test operates much in the same way that the internal mouse test works.
Dock EEPROM
Level: 2.  This test checks each of...

28 Desktop Management Interface (DMI)
The Desktop Management Task Force (DMTF) was founded in 1992 by a group of leading
computer manufacturers, including Hewlett-Packard, to define a standard method of managing
the physical and logical components of personal computers.  The result of these efforts is the
Desktop Management Interface (DMI).
Description of DMI
DMI is basically a set of rules for accessing information about a personal computer.  Using DMI,
an application program can determine, for example,...

29The following software is supplied with the DMI package:
· A Microsoft Windows utility, SETUP.EXE, to install and initialize the DMI software.
· A Windows utility, HP TopTools.  After DMI is installed, this utility can be used to display
information about the computer through the DMI.
· A Management Information Format (MIF) file.  This file contains information about
everything on the computer that can be controlled using DMI facilities, and is initialized
during installation.
· A component code,...

30Installing the DMI Package from Windows 95
The DMI package is included with the OmniBook, but it must be properly installed before it can
be used.  The following steps explain how.
To install the DMI preloaded on the hard disk:
· Start Windows 95, if it is not already running.
· Click on “Start”.
· Go to “Programs - HP DMI”.
· Select and run “SETUP”.
To alternatively install the DMI from floppy disks;
· Copy the DMI software from the \omnibook\drivers\win95\dmi directory of either the hard
disk or...

31Setup and Configuration
The System Configuration Utility (SCU) is an operating system independent pop-up
program.  It can only be accessed at boot-time by pressing F2.
