PC Burn in test software

Micro-Scope Burn-In™

Automated Computer Burnin Test Software Accurate burnin testing of new pc systems Verifies repaired hardware  Improves Quality Control.  Reduces RMA's and Support Costs. Increases Customer Satisfaction and Profits.

PROVEN WAY TO IMPROVE QUALITY CONTROL- Warranty repair facilities at major pc manufacturers report as many as 40% of RMA repaired pc systems are returned a second or even a third time with similar or additional problems. This is mainly due to inadequate fault detection. In other words, the RMA'd system had more than one problem but only one was detected, or the problem was not correctly identified in the first place.

Micro-Scope Burn-In, when combined with hardware repair verification by Micro-Scope diagnostic software WILL detect multiple faults and WILL reduce the numbers of returned systems DRAMATICALLY.

Basic Info:

Burn-In 'OEM' can be integrated into Automated "Turn Key" production and remediation lines, providing highly sophisticated networked batch verification and burn in of 'racked headless system boxes. Micro 2000 works closely with Volume PC Manufacturers and OEM's to provide them with a software tool engineered precisely to their specifications. The benefits of this approach can be seen in substantial reductions in post delivery hardware failures resulting in lower support costs and higher levels of customer confidence and satisfaction. 

Upgrades: Burn-In OEM is continually up-dated in line with individual user requirements and Micro-Scope. 

Purchase: Customised to individual requirements for details and a quote. 

Basic Features:

• UNIVERSAL COMPATIBILITY: Runs on ANY PC with an Intel or Intel compatible processor, including: XT, x86, Pentium, AMD, Cyrix, IS, EISA, MCA, PCI, USB, PCMCIA, and P&P.

• CAN BE CONFIGURED ON BOOT-UP- The first time the utility is run, it asks the user to configure which tests should be performed and the duration of the testing. Once set, the program defaults to that setting every time it is run unless it is changed. To change the setting, the user simply types SET-UP during the boot process and the program allows the user to reset the run time and the tests to be run. If tests are selected for hardware that is not present in the system then those tests will skipped and the program will continue. This allows the default suite of tests to be run on many different hardware configurations without the need for script files or re-configuring the test.

• MAY BE RUN WITHOUT MONITOR OR KEYBOARD- Burnin is designed to run on "headless" systems, e.g. systems without a monitor or a keyboard. This decreases the space occupied by the systems being tested and reduces operator input, making it easy for a single for a single person to burnin test hundreds of pc's at once, increasing the overall productivity of technicians responsible for the quality assurance of the computers.

• RUNS WITH VIRTUALLY NO INPUT - Floppy drive lights will flash and the PC speaker will emit sounds, indicating the need for a "scratch" disk and diagnostic loopback plugs. Once the disk is inserted and plugs connected, the program runs without further input.

• SIMPLIFIED FILE CONTROL- A BURNIN .INI file has been added to the program to allow easy configuration of the recently added file handling support. This new feature makes it possible to conveniently choose the drive and path for storage and retrieval of the Burn-In batch test file and the test report log. Recent additions also allow pass based testing.

• DETAILED SYSTEM LOGS- On completion of the testing phase of the utility, a complete system log will be written to the scratch disk in floppy drive A. The report is generated as a generic ASCII file, which may be read by any text editor or word processor. The log file is written after each pass so that in the event of a power failure a record of the testing will still be available. The report log file contains information for the test run time, number of passes, pass or fail status of each item test and a list of fails or errors, if any. Also included is a detailed list of system hardware including CPU and NPU identification; BIOS manufacturer and date; system type, model, sub-model and revision; exact bus type, e.g. IS, EISA, MCA, PCI, AGP, USB, PCMCIA; the amount of Base and Extended memory; video adapter including BIOS manufacturer, video chipset (if supported), video memory amount and maximum mode; installed serial and parallel ports; detailed Fixed Disk Information for up to 7 drives including drive type (MFM, RLL, IDE, ESDI, SCSI), manufacturer and model; CMOS type and parameters and INT 13 parameters.
