What's new
New User Interface
• New tile based user interface
• New logo image
• Tests will now run on top of their tile button in user interface (instead of a separate window) where appropriate
• Better scaling of user interface on 4K high DPI monitors
New TPM (trusted platform module) pre test
• Checks for presence of TPM, runs self test and queries for version.
CPU Test
• Added AVX, AVX2, FMA3 and FMA4 extensions
• Added checkbox for AVX, AVX2, FMA3 and FMA4 to test preferences
• Heat test, added new instructions to max heat test to maximize heat generation on CPUs that support FMA & AVX instruction sets
RAM Test
• Improved the speed of the test by enabling memory caching.
To replicate the V8 behaviour an option has been added to the test preferences to "Disable memory caching"
Bluetooth test
• Updated and improved Bluetooth test
• NEW Bluetooth Advance Loopback Test to send/receive with the current Endpoint Software.
• Added Loopback test for Serial Bluetooth Devices (Tested with HC-06, Power to VCC, Ground to Ground, RX looped to TX). Requires the device to be paired/authenticated prior to be used in
BurnInTest
• Bluetooth Loopback Test now supports up to 4 Remote Bluetooth devices.
• Added separate Duty cycle and preferences controls for Bluetooth test
• Added port range to Bluetooth test
2D test
• Added new EMC test pattern "Color bars with moving element", to comply with CISPR 32 (ITU BT.1729) standards
• Changed how example character is drawn on preferences window to better display large fonts (96, 120 etc)
• Removed font size limit (previously 8-16) on scrolling letter 2D tests
• Allowed different font sizes to be selected for the scrolling H test and adjusted the scroll speed to take into account monitor vertical resolution
USB3 Test
• Added slow speed threshold setting and warning message to USB3 loopback test
• Added a warning/error when USB3 plugs are not running at superspeed / 5Gb USB3 speed. This can be ignored by changing the BITErrorClassification.txt file
• Added ability to select USB3 plug connection speed for USB test
• Improved thread synchronisation when a large number of test plugs are connected. Many USB host controller's device drivers start to fail under high load (Open, Send and Re-enumeration requests fail if system is under high load). This works around most of the host controller flaws.
Disk Test
• Increased disk tests limit to 100 (from 80)
• Added a "max cycle" option to the disk test
Network test
• Added "Use 1st IP for all" network test option to preferences
Serial Port test
• Added separate options to disable RTS/CTS and DSR/DTR test phase
Serial Port test
• Improved threading of sound test to stop short system freezes during MP3 playback.
Help
• Moved to a new help format (ewriter) so that help topics can be opened directly in Windows 10
Temperature Monitoring & Charts
• Updated temperature graphs to be interactive and allow scrolling and zooming.
• Temperature collection and graphing will start by default when BurnInTest is first launched so temperatures can be monitored without any tests running.
On test start the graph will be reset and on test stop the temperature monitoring will be stopped to allow the graph from the test run to be saved.
Changed series colours to be more visually friendly
• Added checks for the maximum number of temperature sources to monitor
• Fixed scrolling/dragging issues
• Added zoom buttons
• Added support for multiple GPU temperature readings
Customer certificate template
• Added <!--TEMPERATUREGRAPH--> marker for inclusion of the temperature table chart
Scripting
• Added more USB options to scripting
• Added SETBLUETOOTH Scripting commands
Misc
• Added support for reading and logging fan speed from SpeedFan utility
• Fixed a bug when using the PHYSDISK command line parameter in WinPE where the physical specific disk patterns were not available in the select all drop down
• Fixed some problems displaying the FMA3 support for CPUs in system information
• Added way to disable stop button, disable time and cycle settings when using bitaccess.txt to prevent people changing the run time and stopping test early
Preferences
• Increased the size of Preferences window
• Changed temperature source/threshold combo boxes to editable list view with checkboxes
• Combined Pre-Test/Post-Test tabs. Combined Serial Port/Parallel Port tabs
• Added %MCMACHINEID% flag to logging file name preferences to allow management console ID to be used as part of the logging path
Management console
• Updated & rewrote central management console database to hold testing results.
