The log file is opened, appended, and closed for each test so that if the test crashes the computer, the most recent test that passed is shown in the log. The technician includes his name and sysem identification information in the log by invoking the Site Settings item in the main menu and entering that information in the form provided. The user's name comes from the information recorded by the user when he first ran PC Clinic. They are not being shown here for the sake of brevity. The following information is added to the log manually by visiting the configuration and benchmark menus, selecting the item to be tested, and when the display is stable, pressing F10, F, Enter, and A to add the information to the test log.
Much more information is available than is shown below.
The value of this information in the log is that the computer builder and the technician know what was in the computer and how it was configured at the time it was delivered to the user, so it can be used to help verify the configuration if the user comes back to complain that the computer is not functioning properly.
