- SECTION
Defines the diagnostic program sections (/SECTION qualifier on RUN or
START) which program supports.
- DEFAULT
Evoked by DS> ST
DS> RUN EVMAA
Runs default tests (Tests 1-4)
- QUALIFICATION
Evoked by DS> ST/SEC:QUALIFICATION
DS> RUN EVMAA/SEC:QUALIFICATION
Runs tape qualification tests (tests 1-3).
- MEDIA
Evoked by DS> ST/SEC:MEDIA
DS> RUN EVMAA/SEC:MEDIA

- CONVERSATION
Evoked by DS> ST/SEC:CONVERSATION
DS> RUN EVMAA/SEC:CONVERSATION
Runs test 5, which allows the operator to create a sequence of functions
to run on one or all tape drives under test. Type HELP when the
test starts for more information.

Evoked by DS> ST/SEC:TU80
DS> RUN EVMAA/SEC:TU80
Runs TU80 tape streaming test (test 6).
- HELP
EVMAA is a Level 2 magtape reliability diagnostic. It tests many tape
drive types including Massbus and Unibus drives.

- EVENT_FLAGS
DS> SET EVENT 1 ! Inhibits error retries. If set in the
! conversation section it will also inhibit
! dropping TU78 drives due to Status errors.
DS> SET EVENT 2 ! Enable VMS error logging of diagnostic detected
! errors.
DS> SET EVENT 3 ! Query operator to change the number of records
! transferred in the Multi drive test (/sec:MULTI).
! The default value is 750. By selecting a very
! high value (e.g. 1000000) you can guarantee a
! complete tape will be tested.
DS> SET EVENT 4 ! Inhibit TU78 soft error printouts. This flag
! overrides the supervisor flags IE1,IE2,IE3.
DS> SET EVENT 5 ! Set the lock high speed bit in the TU80. This
! will force the TU80 to start up in high speed
! mode. Normally it sets high speed automatically
! if it detects a fast read and write rate.
