The Serial port test is only included in the BurnInTest Pro version only. COM Ports selected >> Remove selected ports To remove one or more a serial ports, select the COM port(s) from the left hand list then click on the remove button. << Add new port to list To select a serial port for testing, select the COM port number from the right hand drop down list, select the test type, then click on the add button. Up to 64 ports can be selected for simultaneous testing. COM1..n (Serial port drop down list) The communications ports that will be used by the serial port test, e.g. COM1. Detect and loopback test / Detect test only For each serial port it is possible to select either a “Detect and loopback test” or a “Detect only” test. The, Detect and loopback test, requires the use of serial port loopback plugs. The Detect only test does not require a loopback plug. When possible use the loopback test as it is a more though test. COM port test settings Disable RTS/ CTS and DSR / DTR test phase The checkbox will disable the part of the serial port that checks that the signal pins are functioning correction. RTS = Request to send pin CTS = Clear to send pin DSR = Data set ready pin DTR = Data Terminal ready pin This can be useful to avoid errors when testing non-standard serial ports. Send and Receive timeouts This is the amount of time in milliseconds that BurnInTest will wait for the successful completion of a Serial I/O operation. Port speed The communications speed or the cycling through the different speeds can be selected. Note that most serial ports do not support speeds above 115200bits/sec.
