# Workspace: Diagnostics

Six performance diagnostics are included with software version. These are REPEATABILITY, ND FILTER, DIDYMIUM FILTER, HAZE STANDARD TEST, AUTO DIAGNOSTICS and VALIDATE.

Validation is a diagnostic that verifies that the instrument is performing when reading standards provided with EasyCert™ and EasyCal™ kits.

Auto Diagnostics is for use by the service department at HunterLab and not recommended for customer use. It runs all tests and detailed readings for short term repeatability, ND filter, Didymium Filter and Haze Standard performance are available by opening the CSV file.

Advanced Tests are primarily for use by HunterLab’s Service Department. However, this menu is supported by the upload of PRINTER DRIVERS and Restarting the Communications (RESTART COMM) with a computer.
