When the check is finished, you may inspect the results.

Block color
Green	Data parity values are valid.
Red	Data parity values are not valid.

When a mouse pointer hovers over a block, a tooltip will show the sector range within the block and number of consistent and inconsistent sectors. Double-clicking the block moves it to the upper-leftmost corner and zooms in the data by 2.

Sectors	The number of the first sector in the row.
Offset	Offset in the data. Enter the address you want to jump to and press the Enter key.
Sectors/Bytes/KB...	Specifies the dimension of the data in the Offset field.
Previous/Next	Moves to the previous/next part of the data.
+/-	Zooms into/out of, the data.
