Please note that if you select the storage card for log storage, when waking
the phone up the phone may take up to several minutes to wake up depending on
the log frequency and length of time the phone has been asleep and whether
power saving is enabled for the Storage Card. This program will continue
sampling in sleep mode so when the PPC resumes all of the data that is in the
cache will be dumped by the OS prior to waking up!


Battery Benchmark Module.

This module places the phone in a standard state (screen and backlight on,
data connection active and Bluetooth radio on and discoverable). Then performs
a 5 minute continuous data download, followed by a 20 minute telephone call.

on the test settings tab of the benchmark module, you can specify a location to
download from, It is currently set to download adobe Reader 9 (I Just looked for
A large file to download) You can also set the telephone number to call and a
keep alive number to dial periodically to keep the call active. Currently the
program is configured to call the TELLME service and dial a 3 digit code every
15 seconds to keep the call Active. TELLME times out in 10 minutes, so the
program actually make two separate 10 minute phone calls. Afterward the report
file will be saved to the location of your choosing....

Enjoy!
