A quick look at the Burn-in Report file

The Burn-in report is broken down into a few different sections. The first section consists of a header with Burn-in program name and version number of the program. The date and time when the report was generated is included with the header too. If the serial number and model number is loaded from the SEND.TXT file then those numbers are also included.

The next section of the report contains all the system specific information. Information on the motherboard, processor, memory, video, floppy, fixed disk, Atapi and Aspi devices, CD-ROMs, serial and parallel ports, network cards, sound cards and other miscellaneous information is all included in this section.

The third section is a listing of the Burn-in test selections, from the burnin.slt file. All the test sequence numbers and additional parameters being used for the current set of tests is displayed. The next section contains all the information from the burnin.ini file. This is the information about how Burn-in is configured, where some of the files are located and for how long the tests will run.

The next section is a summary of the Burn-in diagnostics. This includes the test results, either passed or failed, the number of loops the diagnostics performed, the average time for a single loop, start and end times and the total test time. This is followed by a list of all the tests performed in the order that they were performed. This also includes if the individual tests passed or failed and the average time required for each test. The last section is a list of all the failures the diagnostics found and recorded, if any.
