tecCHANNEL Benchmark Suite

tecBench Operating Instructions I

Via "Help" menu you will find a link to this German (Alt+G) as well as to this English (Alt+O) version of the on-line help for tecBench. The on-line help will call up a corresponding site of www.tecChannel.de.

The graphic interface of tecBench is split into three property pages. In the property page "Selection" you choose the mass storage device that is to be evaluated via a list box, in this box tecBench lists the logical drives available ("A:" to "Z:") and the recognised physical drives ("Phys0", "Phys1", ...):

• Physical drives are for example the hard disk drives. Measurements of a physical drive always refer to its complete capacity, regardless of the chosen partitioning.

• Logical drives are for example hard disk partitions or CD-ROM drives - just all with a drive letter under Windows.

For each recognised mass storage device tecBench indicates whether it will evaluate it with tecHD or tecCD. The decision for one of the two benchmarks depends on the features for the drive given by the operating system and is made automatically.
