- READTEST [DEVICE] [SAMPLES] [SS] [RS] [RE] [-B] [-H]
-
- READTEST is designed to give you the time needed to load an
- amount of data into the computer. With the default settings a
- graph will be plotted showing the time taken to read 2K,4K,6K,8K
- ... and demonstrates how data streaming is dependent on size and
- buffering. The arguments necessary for this program are listed
- below.
-
- DEVICE - the device name of the CD-ROM drive default first
- drive
- SAMPLES - the number of samples to take at any test point
- (default = 15)
- SS - start sector for test to begin at (default = 0)
- RS - range start is the size of the first data (in 2K
- blocks) stream to read (default = 1 block)
- RE - range end is the size of the last data stream (in
- 2K blocks) to read (default = 20 blocks) (max =
- available memory)
- -B - performs brief version of test
- -H - displays help screen
-
-
- Example default READTEST D: 15 0 1 20
- Read 1 block starting at 0 then
- read 2 blocks starting at 0 then
- |
- read 20 blocks starting at 0.
