Grinder options..

[arunbangari]

Hi,
I was trying to run my application on the grinder. I set grind range from 1 to 2500 each containing 40 events and interval between two successive event as 504ms. While running on the grinder, my application crashed and i restarted the grinder. What i found is the events that were taking place were rapid than the events which were occuring when i ran the grinder for the first time. I have observed that, whenever i go to option and set the parameters the duration between two successive events occur normally(if iam correct) where as if i start the grinder without going to option screen it is too fast. Does anyone has observed or faced this problem? Which one is the correct? Does anyone has any idea about the parameters that have to be set while application is put on the grinder.
Thanks in advance.:D

I see something like this sometimes. Sometimes, when I see the rapid events and go back to the options, the "Port" has been cleared (and no events are really going to my phone, the counter just goes up fast, even if the port is still correct).

I've also seeen problems with excluding events. I try to exclude SELECT (so it doesn't leave the screen I'm testing) but it always sends a single SELECT first, then no more for the rest of the run. When I exclude everything but UP and DOWN, the phone beeps a lot, and my app seems to get only RIGHTs out of the arrow keys (I haven't looked into what keys are being sent to cause the beeps but I assume they are key events since the phone is beeping).

It would be nice to get more information about what values are used for certification. My current app can run for hours at 70ms intervals. It dies fairly quickly at 42ms. The app loader dies quickly at 28 and immediatly at 14. Since the app loader dies, I assume user apps don't have to be perfect (run for hours at 0 ms), but how good do we have to be. I spent a lot of time getting my key handling good enough for 56ms tests before I found out the app loader dies also and I probably don't have to be perfect.

Hi, has anyone found out what key stroke rate/interval is used in the NSTL tests? (e.g. in test 3.3.8 in the Test Guide (http://www.qualcomm.com/brew/developer/developing/docs/80-D4187-1_E.pdf).)
