  2. Select Write Load Test. from the submenu. The Write Load Test dialog box opens.

  1. Enter the number of seconds you want to run the test in the Number of Seconds field, and click OK to start the test.

The test cycles through writes of register memory on the current device for the number of seconds you specify. At the end of the time period, an HCT Diagnostic dialog box opens, telling you the average number of words written per second over the test period.

  1. Click OK to terminate the test.
