In Automatic mode, pressing "i" will start running the test at the currently
selected internal send/return bus channel, with the progress and results
of every individual crosspoint test (Testing, Passed) displayed as it
completes. The Source Line TxD and RxD LEDs on the face of the
Pathfinder's Master Control Module will track the progress of the test. If
a problem with any aspect of the test occurs, the test will halt at the
point where trouble was encountered. Both the Pathfinder LED display
