Batch Mode Testing - The PC Diagnostic Software
examines the computer in test groups. Test groups include
Motherboard, Memory, Video, Fixed Disk, CD, Floppy Disk, Video, Serial,
Parallel, USB, Year 2000, Mouse, Joystick, and Keyboard.
You may run a group or individually selected tests in a group, then
run single or multiple passes for either an amount of time per test,
amount of time for the group, or number of passes for each test. Test time can
be up to 100 hours (four days plus four hours).
You may also select Batch Mode testing and save the test parameters in a batch
mode file. Batch mode testing is also called "burn-in" testing because it
runs continuously for a long time and heats up the circuitry. Batch mode tests
can simulate a month of normal operation in just a few hours of intensive
exercising.
When creating a batch mode file, you can select any test in any
group, then select which devices are to be tested (e.g., which hard
drives if you have multiple drives), you may then select the amount of
time or passes for the tests, elect to exit the program and return to the
operating system when testing is done (so as to run other functions in
AUTOEXEC.BAT, for example), and elect the destination of the test log (full log
or just summary, to go to printer or file). You may even elect to put the
Snapshot Configuration report in the beginning of the log and customize a
header and footer for the report.
An important feature for systems builders who burn-in many systems
at once is the dynamic test result display. The software can be set to halt on
a failure or run continuously. If a failure does not lock up the system, then
the monitor, if attached, will display a large, red FAIL message, and
the floppy drive LED will flash rapidly. This will alert a technician across
the room that a failure has occurred.
Batch Mode testing is a very powerful way to burn-in test a system
after repair or before shipping a new system to a customer, for it provokes any
imminent "infant mortality" failures while in the shop, rather than in the
customer's home or office, and it thereby reduces warranty costs for both the
customer and PC technician or builder.
Full Logging of Configuration and Test Results - The PC
Diagnostic Software videos through log features to record your test results and
configuration information. Log to the printer directly, to a disk file of
choice, or just to internal memory. Elect to log only the testing summary
showing number of passes and number of failures for each test, or each
iteration of each test in a batch mode burn-in test sequence, plus the summary.
Because you can log configuration information, you have a handy record to use
to verify the customer's system if it is returned for service. See a sample
annotated batch mode burn-in Test Log here.
Snapshot Configuration Report - Only our Diagnostic Software
contains the Snapshot Configuration Report. All the reporting features of
the Professional Diagnostic Info-Spotter Snapshot are built into the Diagnostic
Software. Click on Info-Spotter Snapshot Report to see a sample printout and
how to set up the report.
Why you should buy our PC Diagnostic Software
- We have many gratified and prestigious customers who rely on our Diagnostic Software day in and day out to help them test and troubleshoot their computers. Due to the abundance of PC hardware manufactures worldwide, along with the lack of industry controls and standards, it would be impossible to assume that any one
PC Diagnostic Software would be able to troubleshoot and assist in repairing all existing hardware failures. Therefore, no one single troubleshooting tool will always be capable of diagnosing all hardware failures and cannot be expected to locate and perform at its best in all computer related hardware diagnostic situations.
In conclusion, this is why it is crucial that anyone attempting to diagnose and troubleshoot computers carry more than one Computer Diagnostic Tool in their arsenal. You can be assured that the line of computer diagnostics we carry will compliment any and all situations, plus more than pay for itself many times over. That is why some of the largest companies in the United States have chosen our diagnostics. The American electronics and computer retailer Best Buy uses our diagnostics throughout hundreds of locations and service departments in North America
