About Burn-in:

The testing routines in the Burn-in diagnostics are based on the best-selling MicroScope software that has been the industry leader since its introduction in 1990. Whereas MicroScope is designed to troubleshoot individual systems either onsite or in a repair depot, Burn-in provides an interface to use the same proven tests in batch mode in a factory setting, to run a specified number of passes or for a set amount of elapsed time, without active supervision.

Machines can be evaluated in bulk with a pre-determined selection of tests, and can even be tested prior to the installation of keyboards and monitors. There is a great deal of flexibility in setting the test configuration and control parameters, and in choosing reporting functions. As in MicroScope, Burn-in comes with our own proprietary bootable operating system that allows access to the hardware at a very fundamental level, without intervention of an operating system not written for diagnostic purposes. This gives the most accurate possible assessment of the CPU and peripherals. However, Burn-in can also be run under DOS and higher level operating systems to allow testing with software drivers in place, and for network reporting capability.
