//////////
Understanding the file-name:

"VendorName - PluginName - (PluginVersion).mXX.f64.vst.dll"

Vendor-name (JELSTUDIO)
Plugin-name (TestingAndDiagnostics)
Plugin-version date (YYYYMMDD)
mXX = m32 for 32-bit version, m64 for 64-bit version
f64 = internal audio-calculations are done with 64bit precision
vst = this .dll file is a VST2 plugin
.dll = file extension



//////////
How to use:

Load the plugin in a VST-host.

There are no user-controls.

The plugin-display is inspired by design used in aviation, to give quick and easy overview of test-results.

Please allow a few seconds of 'warm-up' time for the tests to stabilize when the plugin is first run.

If Windows gets busy with background-tasks, there can be some small continues fluctuations in the test-results. Ideally they should be green all the time, since that indicates a 'rock-solid' stable system.


The tests:

test20
Reset test, should read 1 or 2.
High numbers mean the host is triggering a plugin-reset faster than the plugin can keep up with.

test30 and 31
Sample-block and latency test, should match the target-value.
A mis-match indicates the host may be resampling audio independently of the sound-card.

test40 and 41
Sample-rate test, should match the target-value.
A mis-match indicates the host may be resampling audio independently of the sound-card.

test50 and 51
Display refresh-rate test, should be above zero.
This is the frame-rate of the plugin-display (normally not audio-related, although it can be by design). If it reads zero the plugin does not update its display (This would indicate a 'stuck' or 'frozen' screen and should never happen unless something is seriously wrong)

Ext and Int (external and internal) should always match. If they do not, then the host is interfering with the plugin.
(Ext uses a variable the host can access, and thus, if it behaves badly, interfere with, while int uses a variable the host can not access, and thus, even if behaving badly, not interfere with.)


If you do not get 'all-green', these are the main possible reasons:
1: your host is not letting the sound-card be in control.
2: your windows-machine is not fully stable.
3: you found a bug in the plugin.
