Starting and Stopping a Test
You start and stop the currently configured test using the Start and Stop
buttons.
To start the currently configured test:
t
Click the Start button in the Control area of the Avid Performance Meter
window.
The test runs for the specified duration and then stops automatically. The
elapsed time a test has been running and the remaining time are displayed
in the Control area. If you selected the Loop option in the Avid
Performance Meter Settings dialog box, the test runs indefinitely. In this
case, the word LOOP appears in the Time Remaining display in the main
window.
To stop the currently running test:
t
Click the Stop button in the Control area of the Avid Performance Meter
window.
Use named common
file for Reads
This option changes the way that the Path to Test parameter is used and is
intended for
advanced users only . When you select this option, the Path to
Test parameter must specify a full path, including a file name . The test utility
uses the named file for its Read tests.
The Avid Performance Meter creates the file if it does not exist and deletes it
at the end of testing. For this reason,
the named file should not already exist
unless you want it to be deleted when the test is completed . With this option
selected, you can run the Avid Performance Meter on multiple clients
simultaneously and supply the
same file name.
This allows the Avid Performance Meter, running on multiple clients, to read
a common file. (The file is created as needed, and the last Avid Performance
Meter to stop deletes the file.)
