NOTE: The computer has two scroll buttons in addition to two
conventional buttons. If you connect a conventional PS/2 mouse to the
computer, subtest 04 may not be tested correctly. Use such a mouse that
has scroll function.
This subtest checks the functions of the pointing stick as shown below.
A) IPS stick pressure sensing direction and parameter.
B) IPS switch function check.
This test reports the pointing stick motion response from the IPS and IPS
switch. When the stick is pressed towards the upper left, the <DIRECTION>
display changes according to the following illustration. If an IPS switch is
pressed, the <LAT> displays appear on the right side one by one. The
parameters appear on the center of the display. If four IPS switches are
