+ refscale.holdoff= [KNL]
+ Set test-start holdoff period. The purpose of
+ this parameter is to delay the start of the
+ test until boot completes in order to avoid

+
+ refscale.loops= [KNL]
+ Set the number of loops over the synchronization

+ refscale.nreaders= [KNL]
+ Set number of readers. The default value of -1
