By editing the config.bit file (or using the software's built-in preference exporter), you can pre-define your testing parameters. For instance, you can create a "Quick 15-Minute Triage" config for rapid hardware verification, and a "24-Hour Burn-In" config for rigorous server validation. Centralized Logging on the USB Drive
