File

Save report

Save the recent results as a text report, HTML report or a customer targeted Test Certificate. See Preparing a Customer Test Certificate for more information about configuring a test certificate for your company.

Save Image

Allows the main window (or its contents) to be saved in one of 3 different graphics file formats. Bitmap (BMP), GIF and Enhanced Meta file format (EMF). See the save as image dialog box for more information.

Print

Allows the contents of the main window to be printed. The standard Print dialog window will be displayed allowing the user to select a printer, etc..

Exit

Exits from the application.

Edit

Copy

Allows the contents of the main window to be copied to the clipboard in an Enhanced Metafile. Format (EMF). The results can then be pasted as a graphical image into other documents that support this format, e.g. Microsoft Word

Some applications may not accept a pasted EMF format image. In this case it is better to use the Save as Image menu option (above) to create an image file, which can then be imported into another application.

Clear

Clear the results produced so far, resetting all values and log files to zero. This is done automatically each time a new test run is started (unless the accumulated logging option is set in the preferences window).

Machine ID & Notes

Displays the machine identity and notes window.

View

Error log file

Opens the log file window. The log file window contains status & error messages.

Error by categories

Toggles the main display between the following two error table views:

1. Number of error and last error description per Test Name, and
2. Number of errors for each category per Test Name (that is, CRITICAL, SERIOUS, WARNING AND INFORMATION).

Configuration

Test duty cycles

Displays the test setup dialog which allows automatic stopping of tests to be configured, a subset of tests to be selected for execution and a duty cycle to be set for each test.

Test Preferences

This option allows the user to customize some aspects of the way BurnInTest works. See the description of the preferences dialog box for more details.

Load Config

A test configuration that has been previously saved to disk can be loaded using this menu option. The loaded configuration will set all the parameters available in the ‘test duty cycles’ and ‘test preferences’ windows (see above) to the values contained within the file. Using this menu option in conjunction with the ‘Save Config as’ function it is possible to create a number of standard test configurations. See Maintaining multiple test configurations, for more information.

Save Config as

This option allows the current configuration settings to be stored in a file for later use. All the values available in the ‘test duty cycles’ and ‘test preferences’ windows (see above) will be saved into a file, whose name is selected by the user. Using this menu option in conjunction with the ‘Load config’ function it is possible to create a number of standard test configurations. See Maintaining multiple test configurations, for more information. Saved configuration files can also be loaded automatically by including them on the command line. See Command line arguments for more details.

Test

Start test run

Runs the tests selected in the ‘Test duty cycles’ window. Each test will be run in its own window using its own execution thread. This allows multiple tests to be executed simultaneously. The results from each test are summarized in the main window. Depending on what tests are being started, the speed of the machine and the selected duty cycles; the tests may take several seconds to start.

After tests have been started the menu’s and buttons are ‘Grayed’ out, and no another actions can take place until the tests are stopped manually or automatically.

Stop test run

Stops all the tests that are currently running. It may take several seconds to stop all the tests, remove test files from the disk and de-allocate system resources. If one of the test windows is the active window, Alt-F4 can also be used to stop all the tests. Individual tests can not be stopped after they have been started, as all tests will be stopped at the same time.

Execute script

Runs the tests selected in the specified BurnInTest script file (.bits).

Help

A series of options that allow access to this Online help file and to the PassMark home page. Context related help is available from most windows using the “F1” key.
