Scripting monitor test as plug in to BIT

[patrik.alvanger]

Hi,

I'm doing good progress with creating a BIT for in-line-prod-testing.
Now I reached the monitor and just purchased the monitor test to run as plug in.

Does anyone know how to get the monitor test to run with script, when run as plugin?

The easiest way to run MonitorTest as a plugin from a script is to create a config file that has the plugin settings and monitor test setup (with the command line option /p to run it in plugin mode) and launch that from the script eg;

LOAD "C:\Users\Timr\Documents\PassMark\BurnInTest\Plugi nTest.bitcfg"
RUN CONFIG

There is a SETPLUGIN command in the script but the plugins are designed to be run before/in conjunction with other tests so another test must be configured to run at the same time (so it is easier to use a saved configuration file).

Hi

Thanks for the respons, but I thing you missed my question.
In MonitorTest it is possible to run a script. E.g I just want to show a black screen.
SOLIDBLACK,1024,768,32,60,10000,N

When I run MonitorTest as a plugin I do not know how to run it with this scipt included.

Thanks

Currently no, it isn't possible to launch a script in MonitorTest when launching as a plugin from BurnInTest.

hmmm to bad.

So in principle it's not possible to use MonitorTest as plugin?
Anyone have any great ideas on how to solve this part from writing a C# (or similar) plugin my self?

feedback appreciated

There is some example plugin code here in C++,

You could write your own plugin to do whatever you needed.

Absolutely
I do find these code snibbets very useful.
I already have several plugins.
Thank you for this possibility.

It is however better if I can use your great SW.
I have to do without it this time

anyhow: Thanks
