PC Hardware Diagnostics
 
 

Examiner is a 16-bit diagnostic card for resolving IRQ and DMA conflicts in AT 286, 386, 486 and Pentium systems (including the new Pentium III, Celeron, AMD K5, AMD K6, AMD K6-3D, AMD K7 and Cyrix M2 processors, including MMX technology). This test equipment provides the user with visual LED indicators to identify true IRQ and DMA line usage. The card is also capable of monitoring power supply fluctuations. The card is capable of alerting the user when system over-heating occurs.

The Examiner plugs into any ISA or EISA I/O slot. Once the system is powered-up, the card is already at work. While the system is in its normal mode of operation, Examiner is constantly checking the system's power supply. If power supply voltages ever drop or surpass normal ranges, a warning signal is sounded.

The card also has an "on-board thermostat." The purpose of this feature is to notify the user if system temperature exceeds normal ranges.. Examiner is designed to test the complete overall temperature using an on-board thermal detection chip. This feature of the card outputs warnings if a system's temperature surpasses a range that could be detrimental. A warning signal alerts the user if the system's temperature has exceeded a normal range.

The last feature of the card is its capability to display IRQs and DMAs used. By simply plugging Examiner into an I/O slot, you can initialize any product using any IRQ or a DMA and an LED lights up indicating the DMA or IRQ used by that product. This can be done for all cards in the system. Examiner also has an on-board reset switch that clears the LEDs. This allows the user to determine if cards are sharing or conflicting on a particular IRQ or DMA line. The IRQ and DMA usage detection of the card surpasses the capability of most software packages designed with this feature. Examiner gives the user the ability to test each and every card installed. This includes checking the IRQ location of network cards, sound cards, or any other specialized card.

Product Features:

  • 16-Bit Design - Allows for monitoring a maximum of IRQ/DMA lines.
  • Large On-Board LEDS - Light up, pin pointing the used IRQ/DMA lines for all devices.
  • Easy To Use - Just insert into any empty ISA/EISA slot and watch the LEDS light up.
  • Reset Switch - Allows users to clear LED read-out for monitoring shared IRQ/DMAs without having to down the system.
  • Latest IC Design - The board is designed using the latest technology for accurate testing of any system regardles of CPU or Speed.
  • Extensive On-Board Labeling - All LEDs are clearly labeled, minimizing the need for constant use of a manual to decipher results.
  • Works On All Systems - Test any system regardless of operating system, BIOs or installed peripherals.
  • Small Compact Design - Allows for easy installation without the need for removing other peripherals. (One ISA/EISA slot must be available).
  • On-Board Thermostat - Will notify users immediately if the system temperature exeeds a pre-programmed (normal) range.
  • Voltage Comparators - Continuously monitors the 5v, 12v power supply for disturbances. A must for all file servers.
  • Functions Without Disturbing System - Can be used on any system regardless of CPU type (INTEL Compatible), operating system used, drivers installed, etc...
  • On-Board Buzzer - Warning signals alarm users of possible over-heating.
