NOTE: A short IVP script is provided for a simple verification of device setup. To run the short
script, select the appropriate file,
.Ivp_short.scp or ivp_short.vms from the GUI IVP menu.
This script will run for 15 minutes and then terminate with a summary log. The short script may be
run as a preliminary to but not in place of the long IVP script, which is the full IVP test.
The long IVP will run a "cycle of testing", i.e. until the slowest device has completed one pass of
all tests (typically 4 or 5 hours).
Optionally, you can increase the IVP long run time by increasing the cyclecount (3 passes are
recommended). Two of the ways to do this are described. If you wish to know more about Q-Vet
features like this, see the training course at http://learning1.americas.cpqcorp.net/wbt/cs127a-
ewb/welcome.htm.
• After executing (loading) the IVP long script, issue the Q-Vet command set cyclecount
x, where x is the number of cycles desired.
• If you have the GUI, simply of to the menu item Options >Cyclecount and change the
setting.
