- SKIPTEST [DEVICE] [SAMPLES] [READS] [RS] [RE] [SS] [-H]
-
- SKIPTEST plots how long it takes to read a group of blocks
- (defined by READS), then skip a number of blocks (defined by RS
- and RE). Negative numbers are allowed in order to see the effect
- of head movement backwards and forwards. SS will automatically
- be adjusted if the result would mean the head leaving valid disc
- area. This test will give you a gauge of head access speed.
-
-
- DEVICE - the device name of the CD-ROM drive default first
- drive
- SAMPLES - the number of samples to take at any test point
- (default = 1)
- READS - the number of CD-ROM blocks to read at any test
- point (default = 8)
- RS - range start is the first number of blocks to skip
- between reads (default = 0 blocks)
- RE - range end is the last number of blocks to skip
- between reads (default = 30)
- SS - start sector for test to begin at (default = 0)

- read 8 blocks, skip 30 blocks, read 8 blocks starting at 0.
