  • Article

Note  This content applies to the Windows Logo Kit (WLK). For the latest information using the new Windows Hardware Certification Kit (HCK), see Windows HCK User's Guide on the Windows Hardware Dev Center.

The procedures presented in this section outline the process for testing your Digital Still Camera for proper functionality with the Microsoft Windows operating system. These procedures use the Microsoft Windows Logo Kit (WLK) and Driver Test Manager (DTM). To ensure full functionality, you must run all of the tests that the DTM identifies as required for the device. If your product provides bus-specific support, you must run the appropriate bus-specific tests in addition to the standard tests.

Using the Test Procedure Help Topics

The test procedures are divided into the following types of topics:

Overview: The overview topics describe the hardware, software, and tester knowledge requirements.

Preparing: The preparing topics describe how to configure the system or systems for logo testing.

Running: The running topics describe how to run to run the tests for your device or system.

Digital Still Camera Tests

The list of test you need to run depend upon the capabilities of the device or system being tested. To see the complete list of tests that could be required for your device, see Running the Digital Still Camera Tests.

Run time: Approximately 24-48 hours, depending on device capabilities

Hardware requirements

The following hardware is required for Digital Still Camera testing. Additional hardware may be required if the test device provides bus-specific support. See the test description for each bus-specific test to determine if there are additional hardware requirements.

  • System that supports USB 2.0

  • A USB cable for the device you are testing

Other Device Requirements

The following is required to run the portable media device testing component of the WLK:

  • For Windows Vista and later versions, your device must appear under the Portable Devices category in Device Manager.

  • The battery on the device should be fully charged before testing is started.

  • Device must include at least one sample of each format type supported by the device.

  • If the device supports removable media, the media must be added before testing.

Software requirements

The following software is required to run the Digital Still Camera tests:

  • No additional software is needed.

Tester knowledge requirements

To run the Digital Still Camera tests, testers must know how to accomplish the following tasks:

  • Switch a device to a computer connectivity mode before plugging it in.

  • Plug a device into a USB port of the computer and maintain the connectivity throughout the test run.

  • Provide continuous power to the device during throughout the test run.
