Capture Log. The Capture Log normally repeats the informational messages seen while the diagnostic is running.
However If the diagnostic loops, the Capture Log is not generated until all testing is through, and then only failures are reported to save time and disk space.
If a loop or subtest fails, the entire diagnostic is considered to have failed. In the case of a catastrophic error, the diagnostic will abort and cease operations after notifying the user. Highlight the word under the STATUS column and press [Enter
