Full IOQ Execution runs all six tests sequentially.

2. Follow the onscreen instructions, making note of observations for equipment function and any system errors encountered.
3. When finished, select Abort to exit method.
4. If asked to provide system trace logs generated during test, the logs are available at C:\Program Files (x86)\HAMILTON\LogFiles and begin with VeriSeqNIPT_Services.
