NOTE: For instructions on how to perform this test, see “Running tests and
device-specific utilities” (page 29) or “Running the tests (CSI)” (page 50) .
This test is used to verify that the library or autoloader can perform moves to and from
specific elements. Use this test if a problem is suspected with a particular element in
the device or to verify operation after the device is serviced. When to run
The duration of this test will vary depending on the library or autoloader under test
and the specified loop count. A single loop can take from 30 seconds to three minutes
depending on the device. It will take longer if errors and recovery steps occur. Duration
