Batch:
Batch mode is a special testing mode, which only requires the user
to click Start once to test a number of cables. Once started, the Advanced
Cable Tester will remain active and test cables as they are inserted. The
pass/fail status of the cable will be indicated by the LEDs on the Advanced
Cable Tester Hardware until the cable is unplugged. The test results will be
stored on the device and can be retrieved through the web interface.

Continuous mode is a special testing mode which will
continuously run tests on a single cable until stopped, with a 500 ms delay
between test runs. This test mode is particularly useful for burn-in or
environmental testing of cables.
