3. Running a test

1. Open Virtual dyno in the cabinet.
2. Choose the image in Firmware image (.bin).
3. Optionally fill in Label — up to 120 characters, for example "stage 1, 98 RON". The label names the test in your list.
4. Leave or clear Show this result anonymously in the public log (§7.2).
5. Press Start test.

While the image is checked, the form shows "Checking the image…" — usually a few seconds.

Before the queue, the service identifies the software of the image and verifies its checksums. An accepted image enters the queue and appears first in Your tests. A rejected one does not enter the queue; the cabinet shows the reason (§6.1).

Your tests shows the position in the queue and an estimate of when the report will be ready. A running test goes through four stages:

1. Preparing the vehicle model
2. Running the power and torque pull
3. Running the acceleration test
4. Building the report

Both tests take about 20 minutes, depending on the image, plus the time in the queue. When the report is ready, you get an email and the status changes to Report ready. A test that waits in the queue for more than 24 hours is cancelled; start it again.

Press Cancel next to a queued or running test and confirm. A running test stops and is not resumed; until it stops, its status is "Stopping…".

The number of tests you can have queued or running at a time is limited; the cabinet shows the limit under the form. Start the next test when one of them finishes.
