Preparing to Run a Resource Test
What do the tests tell me?
Resource Tests. The resource tests are intended to test system capability for the current device
configuration. Resource tests are pass/fail. Test failure may indicate a lack of availability of the resource,
or a possible resource conflict.
Base Address Test. This resource test checks the base address for the selected port. Failure of this test may
indicate that the port is not properly configured within the system. See relevant operating system and
computer manufacturer’s documentation to correct the problem.
