Is it done? (still going and going...)

Hi all,

Heads up: I'm a total rookie at this.

The test has been running for over 6 hours now. It says "Pass complete, no errors. Press Esc to exit", but it is still running. Should I leave it running still? Or it is not worth it at this point?
Thanks guys

One pass is enough to pickup the majority of errors.
For every extra pass there is diminishing returns. The chance of finding something reduces.
You are using an old version of the software, but in the newer V7 release we defaulted it to 4 passes. Which seemed a reasonable number to us.

But if you run the test long enough (days or weeks) you'll eventually get soft errors.

I see.
Thank you so much for your help David
I will stop it then. (on the 7th pass now).

Have a great one!

I'm back, David....
I have pressed ESC, but is not reponding
On the lower right corner it says "Locked".
Am I supposed to unlock it somehow before I can stop the process?
