; This file contains all the information you need to create your
; own .ZDR batch file. It describes how to use the batch mode commands
; and parameters so you can run tests and save results automatically,
; without having to manually perform these tasks.
;
; Copy and edit this file to reflect your computer's environment
; settings.
;
; Use this batch file's StepN section(s) to both call the suite file
; and name your result files.
;
; To "comment out" any parameters or descriptions, start the line with
; a semi-colon.
;
; To run WinBench 98 in batch mode, double click on the .ZDR file
; from explorer.
[Config]
Benchmark=WB98
[Environment]
; When you make any changes to the computer's environment settings using
; the System Info dialog, WinBench 98 records those changes in the
; SYSINFO.INI file. You can override the SYSINFO.INI file settings by
; copying entries from the [ChangedByUser], [NotChangedByUser], or [BasicInfo]
; sections in the SYSINFO.INI file to this section of the .ZDR file and
; modifying them.
[Options]
; Setting ExitBenchmark to True causes WinBench 98 to exit when
; it completes all its tests. The default value is True,
; so WinBench 98 stops normally after completing its tests. Setting the
; value to False leaves the benchmark running after the tests have completed.
ExitBenchmark=True
; Setting DemoMode to True causes WinBench 98 to run, in demo mode, the test
; suite specified in the first StepN section of this batch file . The default
; value is False.
;
; WinBench 98 will not save any results when it runs in demo mode,
; and it will ignore the ExitBenchmark and ExitWindows settings,
; as well as all sections named [StepN], where N is larger than 1.
DemoMode=False
; Setting this option to True causes WinBench 98 to check the
; Configuration Information.
SystemConfigurationCheck=False
[Messages]
; InitMessage contains a time-out value in seconds (whole numbers only) and a string
; that WinBench 98 displays in a message box after the batch file starts running. This
; field is optional.
;
; A time-out value of 0 indicates that WinBench 98 will display the
; message box until the tester closes that box. WinBench 98 replaces
; tilde characters (~) with line breaks in the actual message
; box.
;The following message displays for 5 seconds.
InitMessage=5,WinBench 98 is starting.
; Repeat the StepN section as many times as you want, with N
; starting at 1 and increasing. Each section specifies a suite
; of tests to run, options WinBench 98 should use during those
; tests, and results files to save.
;
; Our sample batch file has two steps. Step1 defrags the hard disk
; and reboots the system. Step 2 runs all WinBench 98 tests, saves the
; results in the default database, and starts over with step 1.
[Step1]
; StartMessage and EndMessage contain a time-out value in
; seconds and a string WinBench 98 displays in a message box
; at the beginning and end of the Step, respectively. Both
; messages are optional. A time-out value of 0 indicates
; WinBench 98 will display the message box until the tester
; closes that box and will not run the rest of the batch file until
; the box is closed. WinBench 98 replaces tilde characters (~)
; with line breaks in the message box.
StartMessage=5,Disk defrag will start in 5 seconds (Windows 95 only). ~After defrag is finished, the computer will reboot.
;EndMessage=5, Example Message.
; ChangeScreen causes the screen to change to specified resolution and
; colordepth. Only use this command in a step without a Suite or
; SuiteSection specified.
;
; The command below sets the screen to 1024x768 at 16 bit colordepth.
;ChangeScreen=1024,768,16
; Setting UserEditBasicInfo to True causes WinBench 98 to display the
; Change Basic Info dialog box for the user to change. The batch file
; waits for the user to dismiss the dialog before proceeding.
;UserEditBasicInfo=TRUE
; Setting Defrag to True causes WinBench 98 to launch the Windows Disk
; Defragmenter program when WinBench 98 terminates. The default value
; is False, which does not run the defrag program.
Defrag=TRUE
; Setting RebootSystem to True causes WinBench 98 to reboot the
; computer when WinBench 98 terminates. The default value is False, so
; WinBench 98 normally exits and leaves Windows running.
RebootSystem=True
[Step2]
; Repeat the StepN section as many times as you want, with N
; starting at 1 and increasing. Each section specifies a suite
; of tests to run, options WinBench 98 should use during those
; tests, and results files to save.
;
; The Suite setting specifies the path name of the .ZDS suite file
; that contains the list of tests to run and/or display. The
; WB98ALL.ZDS suite included with the benchmark contains all the
; WinBench 98 tests. You can create additional suite files by
; running the benchmark and choosing Create from the Suite menu.
;
; The following setting assumes the benchmark is installed in C:\ZDBENCH.
Suite=c:\zdbench\suites\wb98all.zds
; The suite definition can also be included directly in this file
; with the SuiteSection command.
;SuiteSection=Suite1
; WinBench 98 adds the basic info fields to the results file. These
; fields let you change the Description, Comments, and variants for
; each Step. You would normally change them by using the Edit Basic
; Info dialog. You can set these fields in the Environment
; section above or use different values for each step.
;Description=Tester Must Supply
;Comments=Tester Must Supply
; Other Basic Information can go here.
; Setting ClearResults to False prevents WinBench 98 from forgetting
; all results from previous steps. The default value is True,
; meaning WinBench 98 will forget all previous results at the start
; of the step.
ClearResults=True
; StartMessage and EndMessage contain a time-out value in
; seconds and a string WinBench 98 displays in a message box
; at the beginning and end of the Step, respectively. Both
; messages are optional. A time-out value of 0 indicates
; WinBench 98 will display the message box until the tester
; closes that box and will not run the rest of the batch file until
; the box is closed. WinBench 98 replaces tilde characters (~)
; with line breaks in the message box.
StartMessage=10,WinBench 98 is about to start running all tests.
EndMessage=10,WinBench 98 has saved the results in the file~Results98.ztd.
; You may save results from this step in a database by clearing the
; semi-colon (;) from the Database setting line and changing the
; path name of the database directory.
Database=c:\ZDBench\Results\Results98.ztd
; Edit the settings below by changing the file name and
; directory name to specify the results files you want
; to produce. Comment out any settings for result files
; you do not want. You can produce all three types of
; result files or any combination of formats you like.
;TextFile=c:\zdbench\exports\results.txt
;XLSFile=c:\zdbench\exports\results.xls
;CSVFile=c:\zdbench\exports\results.csv
; GotoStep tells WinBench 98 which step to run after the current
; step is finished. It can be used to run a suite repeatedly,
; saving the results.
GotoStep=1
; The following settings all correspond to the benchmark's
; Test Settings dialog box tabs.
; ***** Common Test Settings *****
; The 'Disk Drive' setting specifies which hard disk WinBench 98 should use
; for all of the disk tests.
;Common Properties:Disk Drive=C:\
; The 'CD-ROM Drive' setting specifies which drive WinBench 98 should use
; for all of the CD-ROM and Video tests.
;Common Properties:CDROM Drive=D:\
; The 'Report CPU Util' setting causes some tests to report CPU utilization
; results in a note attached to the test result. True reports the result; False
; suppresses the result.
;Common Properties:Report CPU Util=False
; ***** Graphics WinMark *****
; To help you troubleshoot the Graphics WinMark tests, you can set
; the debugging options below. WinBench 98 doesn't calculate a score
; when either of these options is turned on.
;
; When Allow VGA Display Resolution is set to Yes, the WinBench 98
; graphics playback tests will run at 640 x 480. Normally, the graphics
; playback requires 800 x 600 for Business and 1024 x 768 for High-End.
; When the graphics playback fails, install the standard VGA driver and
; set this option to true. This will determine whether the video driver
; is faulty. Setting this parameter to No runs the tests at their standard
; resolution.
Graphics WinMarks:Allow VGA Display Resolution=No
; When Show Record Numbers is set to Yes, WinBench 98 will display
; a progress indicator window in the upper left of the screen. The window
; displays a number indicating the system's progress through the playback
; log, helping you see if the system hangs at a specific point in the playback.
; Setting this parameter to No runs the test without the progress indicator.
;Graphics WinMarks:Show Record Numbers=No
; ***** GDI Tests *****
;
; User-Supplied Bitmap allows you to select your own bitmap file for
; WinBench 98 to use in four of its GDI inspection tests. Enter the
; full path and filename of the bitmap you want the tests to use.
;GDI Tests:User-Supplied Bitmap=
; ***** Disk Test Settings *****
;
; By default, WinBench 98 will use the hard disk's maximum transfer rate
; for the CPU Utilization tests, but you can set Utilization Transfer Rate to
; a different transfer rate. Higher transfer rates will lead to a higher
; (that is, a worse) CPU Utilization score. For the maximum transfer rate,
; use 0. The units are thousands of bytes per second. Enter a whole number.
;Disk Tests:Utilization Transfer Rate=0
; Use this parameter to set the block size used by the CPU Utilization tests.
; The unit is bytes and must be a multiple of 2048.
;Disk Tests:Utilization Block Size=2048
; ***** CD-ROM Test Settings *****
; Use this setting to set the block size used by the CPU Utilization tests.
; The unit is bytes and must be a multiple of 2048.
;CD-ROM Tests:Utilization Block Size=2048
; By default, WinBench 98 will use the CD-ROM drive's maximum transfer rate
; for the CPU Utilization tests, but you can set Utilization Transfer Rate to
; a different transfer rate. Higher transfer rates will lead to a higher
; (that is, a worse) CPU Utilization score. For the maximum transfer rate,
; use 0. The units are thousands of bytes per secend. Enter a whole number.
;CD-ROM Tests:Utilization Transfer Rate=0
; For the CPU Utilization tests, you can specify that the tests
; use outer tracks of the CD-ROM only. By default, WinBench 98 starts reading
; the CD-ROM test files from the CD-ROM's inner track. This setting is useful
; on constant angular velocity (CAV) CD-ROM drives, where performance does differ
; on the inside and outside of the disc's spiral.
;CD-ROM Tests:Use Outer Tracks=Yes
; ***** Video Test Settings *****
; If it is present, the Playback Directory setting causes WinBench 98
; to copy the video clips to a temporary location before playing them.
; If this option is commented out (with a semi-colon at the start of the line),
; the clips are played directly from CD-ROM.
; This setting applies to both standard and user-supplied clips.
;Video Tests:Playback Directory=c:\temp
; The Use ActiveMovie option allows the test to use the ActiveMovie
; interface to play video clips. Valid values are Yes (which is the default value) and No.
This setting applies to both standard and
; user-supplied clips.
;Video Tests:Use ActiveMovie=Yes
; The Compute FPS option enables or disables WinBench 98's computation
; of the maximum frame rate (frames per second). Valid values are
; Yes (which is the default value) and No. This setting applies to both
; standard and user-supplied clips.
;Video Tests:Compute FPS=Yes
; The Number of Clips option allows multiple instances of a clip to be
; played simultaneously. Valid values are 1 through 9, but the clips must
; fit on the screen. This setting applies only to standard (not
; user-supplied) clips.
;Video Tests:Number of Clips=1
; The Number of User-Supplied Clips option allows multiple instances
; of a clip or multiple clips to be played simultaneously. Valid values
; are 1 through 9, but the clips must fit on the screen. This setting
; applies only to user-supplied clips.
;Video Tests:Number of User-Supplied Clips=2
; When more than one user-supplied clip is specified, the All Clips the Same
; option tells the video test to apply User Clip 1 options (see below) to
; all user-supplied clips. Valid values are Yes and No. This setting
; applies only to user-supplied clips.
;Video Tests:All Clips the Same=No
; The 'User Clip n' option specifies parameters for each user-supplied clip.
; This option has several parameters. The format is:
;
; Video Tests:User Clip 1=name, xscale, yscale, xalign, yalign, xpos, ypos, xsize, ysize
;
; where:
;
; name is the fully qualified path name to the video clip. Any video
; file type that your computer supports may be specified.
;
; xscale and yscale are the scaling factors. 2.0 would specify 2X normal size.
; xscale allows two special values: 1.0 means to play the video clip
; full screen, and 2.0 means to zoom the video clip full screen.
; For both xscale and yscale, valid values are 0.1 to 50.0, -1.0 and -2.0. The clip(s) must fit
; on the screen.
;
; xalign and yalign specify whether the video clip window is aligned.
; 0 means to align on an 8-pixel boundary. 1 means to align 1 pixel past
; (to the right or down from) an 8-pixel boundary. Valid values are
; 0 through 7.
;
; xpos and ypos specify the position of a clipping window. Coordinates are
; given relative to the upper left corner of the clip, and the units
; are 1/100ths of the video clip size. These parameters may be omitted
; if there is no clipping window.
;
; xsize and ysize specify the size of the clipping window. Units are
; 1/100ths of the video clip size. These parameters may be
; omitted if there is no clipping window.
;
;Following are some examples of the Video Tests:User Clip N parameter.
; This setting defaults to normal size and no clipping window.
;Video Tests:User Clip 1="C:\Cpac1l3s.avi", 1.0, 1.0, 0, 0
; This setting specifies zoom full screen, aligned, clipping window.
;Video Tests:User Clip 2="C:\Cpac1l3s.avi", -2.0, -2.0, 0, 0, 25, -25, 50, 50
; ***** DirectDraw Test Settings *****
; If your system has multiple graphics adapters installed, you can select the adapter
; you want WinBench 98 to use for all DirectDraw tests. For the primary graphics
; adapter, set DirectDraw Hardware to 0. For the secondary adapter, set it to 1.
;DirectDraw Tests:DirectDraw Hardware=0
; The following settings apply to the user-defined DirectDraw test only.
; You can run the test full screen or in a window.
;DirectDraw Tests:Full Screen=Yes
; Setting Clipping Window to Yes overlays the DirectDraw window with a clipping
; window. This option is only used if Full Screen is No.
;DirectDraw Tests:Clipping Window=No
; When Full Screen is set to Yes, the DirectDraw test will change the video
; mode before running. The following three settings specify the color depth (in bits)
; and the screen size.
;DirectDraw Tests:Screen Width=640
;DirectDraw Tests:Screen Height=480
;DirectDraw Tests:Color Depth=8
; Set Test Type to specify what kind of test you would like to run. Types are:
; 0 - Animate Mixture
; 1 - Animate Transparent
; 2 - Animate Solid
; 3 - Fill
;DirectDraw Tests:Test Type=0
; For Animate tests only, you can choose to use the following Blt types:
; 0 - Blt
; 1 - BltFast (can only be used for full screen)
; 2 - Blt with stretching
;DirectDraw Tests:Blt Type=0
; For the Blt with stretching only, you need to enter a scaling factor of from 0.1 to 25.
;DirectDraw Tests:Scaling Factor=1.0
; You can choose to have the Source in Video Memory and the Work Area in
; Video Memory (by default, these options are both Yes). If you set
; these selections to No, WinBench 98 will use main system memory.
; This setting applies to Animate Mixture only.
;DirectDraw Tests:Source In Video=Yes
;DirectDraw Tests:Work In Video=Yes
; You can specify the Blt size Width and Height the test will use. Blt
; size defines the number of pixels in a block that are transferred by the
; Blt and BltFast calls. By default, this setting is 64 x 64. This setting
; cannot be used with the fill test or with stretching.
;
; Choices are: 1, 2, 4, 8, 16, 32,and 64.
;DirectDraw Tests:Blt Size Width=64
;DirectDraw Tests:Blt Size Height=64
[StepN]
; Repeat the StepN settings as many times as you want.
; Replace the [StepN] with [Step3], [Step4], and so on.
