When Verbose mode is Off, all the non-printable characters are represented by a
period character ‘.’. When Verbose mode is On any non-printable character in the
command or response is displayed as a Hex/ASCII string. The message is split into 15
character sections, with hex displayed on the left, and ASCII displayed on the right. All
non-printable characters are displayed as the period character ‘.’ in the ASCII section.

Option W – I/O Timeout in Seconds, 0 Seconds = Wait Forever
This is the timeout value in seconds for no-wait I/O. The default value is 0 (wait
forever).
When -W is selected, the current value is displayed and the prompt for new value is
displayed. When the new number is over 1,800 an error message appears and the
prompt for new number is displayed again.
Option X – Exit
When -X or -Q is selected, the NSPDIAG program is terminated.
Using NSPDIAG with ARM
NSPDIAG will use WRITEREADX calls when the Option D – Test Device Name is used
to specify the ARM communications server process, such as $arm1.
To use SERVERCLASS_SEND calls first set the Option C – I/O Configuration to S,
then set the Option D – Test Device Name to the ARM pathmon process name, for
example $ARMPW. After the pathmon name is input, NSPDIAG will prompt for the
server class name, for example ARM.
