The Resident Self Tests (RST) are a suite of tests for system hardware and software, using no
external instrumentation. RST also provides system-specific hardware, software, and service
information about the ultrasound system

How to start Philips Resident Self Tests (RST) ?

You start the RST application while the ultrasound application is running or while the system is
booting up. In either case, the procedure is the same, but if the ultrasound application is running,
the RST application will close the ultrasound application.
➤ To start the RST application
Press Ctrl+Alt+r.

➤ To start RST during the power-up sequence (such as when the ultrasound application fails to start, and you want access to the tests and logs)
1. Wait until the Philips blue and yellow "splash screen" appears.
2. Wait for this splash screen to flash once.
3. Press Ctrl+Alt+r
4. Release all three keys.
5. Repeat steps step 3 and step 4 from 5 to 10 times to ensure that the system "sees" the keystrokes.
