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.
