The following test sequence will verify that your pole display is working properly. Before you start this procedure, you must install the pole display correctly as outlined under the INSTALLATION section. The functional test should be done under MSDOS command prompt by booting up the computer in DOS mode, or shell out to DOS prompt (in Window95/98/ME) or COMMAND prompt (in Windows NT/2000/XP).
