It has been designed as an easy-to-use Windows based application that allows users to monitor the performance of laptop batteries and uninterruptible power supplies (UPS).rn•Graphically see the charge / discharge rate rn•Diagnose problem battery cells with detailed statistics rn•Compare and measure your batteries performance with expected discharge rates rn•See the critical discharge point for your batteries rn•Uniquely identify battery packs for tracking purposes or system inventories rn•Log the performance of a battery for later reference rn•See the status of each individual battery pack, when multiple batteries are in use rn rnBatteries, given their chemical nature, are prone to wear, corrosion, leakage and outright failure due to events like short circuits and lightning strikes. Given their propensity to fail and to have decreased performance over time, it is important to be able to identify and monitor their performance. With BatteryMon, monitoring the state of your laptop battery or UPS has never been easier. BatteryMon has the following features:rn•Battery charge level is graphed in real time, along with an extrapolated trend line and comparison trend line. rn•A log file is maintained of the battery charge level and other statistics for later analysis. rn•Configurable sample period. rn•A comprehensive help file. rn•Detailed system and status information about each battery installed (see below). rn•An interface to BurnInTest in order to evaluate battery performance, while under load. rn•Mini window mode that shows multiple batteries charging/discharging status as well as life percentage, estimated running time and more (with adjustable transparency for Windows 2000 and later). rnTypical users include portable computer repair centers, system integrators, server administrators who must manage UPSes and, home users wanting to test their battery or UPS.rnCompatibilityrnAny laptop battery or UPS that complies with the Windows, Advanced Configuration and Power Interface (ACPI) specification should be able to report information to BatteryMon. Note that only Windows 98, ME, 2000 and XP support this interface. Windows95 and NT are not supported. Older PCs may also have a problem if their BIOS does not support ACPI. Some features may not be supported by some battery types, typically they will report only partial information in this case. It has been also been noted that several UPS manufacturers are not providing compliant device drivers.rnStatus Information rnThe following information is provided for each installed battery (when available, as not all batteries will support all of these features).rn•Status: Indicates the current status of this particular battery. e.g., "Charging", "Discharging", "Not in use". rn•Manufacturer: The name of the company that manufactures the battery pack. rn•Device Name: This is usually the model number of the battery pack, as defined by the manufacturer. rn•Serial number: The serial number of the device as defined by the manufacturer. rn•Unique ID: An identification string, which is unique across all battery packs. rn•Time remaining: A rough estimate of how much time remains before the battery is fully discharged. rn•Battery Temperature: The temperature inside the battery pack. rn•Date of manufacture: The date when the battery was manufactured. rn•Type of use: Indicates if the batteries normal use is to provide power for normal operations or if the battery is a fail safe / backup device. (Laptop battery or UPS) rn•Rechargeable: Indicates if the battery is rechargeable or not. rn•Chemistry: The type of battery. Typical values are: Lead Acid, Lithium Ion, Nickel Cadmium, Nickel Metal Hydride, Nickel Zinc, Rechargeable Alkaline-Manganese. rn•Design capacity: The theoretical capacity of the battery when new. Measured in milliwatts hours (mWh) for most batteries. rn•Full charge capacity: The battery\'s current fully charged capacity. In some batteries it is possible to compare this value to the designed capacity to estimate the battery\'s wear. rn•Alert levels: The manufacturer\'s suggestion of when a "Low" and "Warning" battery alert should occur. rn•Bias: Some batteries reserve a small charge that is biased out of the battery\'s Full Charge Capacity and Current Capacity values to show "0" as the critical battery level. Critical bias is analogous to setting a fuel gauge to show "empty" when there are several liters of fuel left. rn•Charge cycles: The count of the number of charge/discharge cycles the battery has experienced. This provides a means to determine the battery\'s wear. rn•Voltage: The current battery voltage in Volts across the battery terminals. rn•Charge Rate: The current rate of battery charge or discharge. For most batteries this value will be in mWh.rnrnrnrnrnPassMark BurnInTest™ rnis a software tool that allows all the major sub-systems of a computer to be simultaneously stress tested for endurance, reliability and stability.rn•Assists in PC Troubleshooting and diagnostics. rn•The best value professional burn-in tool on the market! rn•Avoid delivering D.O.A. (Dead on Arrival) hardware to your customers. rn•Dramatically reduce your burn in times with multithreaded simultaneous testing of components. rn•Build your image as a supplier of quality systems. rn•Avoid costly downtime, system rebuilds and lost data. rn•Test the stability of a system after configuration changes or hardware upgrades (critical for overclocking). rnAnyone who has used computers for any period of time will understand the importance of having a stable system. The cost of a hardware failure can be enormous. If you are lucky your data will only become inaccessible while faulty components are replaced. If you\'re unlucky you can lose your files completely or have them permanently corrupted. Even if you have good backups, you can still lose days of work returning the PC to its pre-failure state. In many cases the lost data can never be replaced and businesses can be brought to their knees, with the loss of documentation, customer details and financial records.rnrnWhat BurnInTest does is thoroughly exercise the hardware in a PC in a short period of time, in the same way as normal applications use a PC over a long period of time. This takes advantage of the fact that computer hardware tends to fail either very early in its life or after many thousands of hours of use. Typically BurnInTest should be used before a PC is put into service, as the failure of a computer that isn’t being used for a critical application and doesn’t have any critical data is much less damaging, (especially if it is still under warranty).rnBurnInTest will bring intermittent or hidden problems to the surface so that after a successfully run the computer can be used with a much higher level of confidence. BurnInTest can also be used by overclockers to verify system stability at high clock speeds.rnBurnInTest tests the CPU via mathematical operations and SIMD calculations, hard drives, RAM, CD-ROMs, CD burners, DVDs, sound cards, 2D graphics, 3D graphic, network connection, printers, video playback. If you have specialized hardware that BurnInTest does not test, you can even write your own test and integrate it with BurnInTest. PassMark has produced plugin tests for Keyboards, Dial up Modems and FireWire ports. This can all be done simultaneously as the application is multithreaded. The Professional version also has a number of additional features such as tape drive testing, USB port testing, USB 2.0 port testing, Serial and parallel port testing with the use of loop back plugs.rnAdditional FeaturesrnThe application includes the following additional features:rn•Online help & PDF manual rn•A customer style results certificatern•Support for printing results rn•Logging of results to disk in user selectable levels of detail (in ASCII format & HTML formats) rn•Timed test runs that will stop automatically at the expiry of the selected time or after a number of test cycles. rn•The ability to save your results to disk as log file. rn•\'Notes\' and \'Machine ID\' fields for storing your own audit information along with the saved log file. rn•Support for copying the results to other applications (eg.

The Standard Edition is 32bit only. The Pro edtion is 32bit and native 64bit. rn•Running BurnInTest from a CD or USB drive.rnrnrnrnPassMark ModemTest™ rnis an easy-to-use Windows based application that allows users to test their dial up modem. ModemTest performs low level testing that is independent of your Internet Service Provider (ISP) and the TCP/IP settings on the computer. It allows the modem to be tested in addition to the phone line the modem is connected to. ModemTest provides a method for system integrators and computer repair centers to test both internal and external modems. By a process of elimination home users can also use ModemTest to help isolate Internet connection problems to a faulty modem, or phone line or their ISP service. ModemTest logs any data corruption and incorporates a modem speed test which reports the initial connection speed and the actual throughput.rnTwo different test methods are provided. The first test method uses two telephone lines and two modems in a master / slave configuration. The master dials the phone number of the slave modem and after a successful connection, data packets are exchanged between the master and slave. The second test method requires only a single modem and no telephone line. A local loop back is done on the analog side of the modem, ModemTest then sends data packets which are echoed back by the modem. In both cases ModemTest communicates to the modem using a COM port. (In the case of Internal modems or USB modems, this is a virtual COM port and not a physical plug on the machine).rnBefore sending any data ModemTest first checks the settings on the serial port and then on the modem itself. Any data received is verified to be sure that it is complete and without errors. A log of the activity is kept in the right hand section of the window. Different types of activity is highlighted in different colors. Any errors are displayed in red. This log can be saved to disk if required.rnUsing the file transfer options, ModemTest also assists in modem compliance testing against the International Telecommincations Union ITU v.56 ter standard. (c.f. Test procedure for evaluation of 2-wire 4-kHz voiceband duplex modems, ITU-T v.56 ter, version 08/96, sections 6.1 and 6.2).rnrnrnrnrnPassMark MonitorTest™ rnis a tool that allows users to investigate the quality and performance of their computer monitor or LCD flat panel screens. With more people spending more time in front of computer monitors it is important to purchase a quality monitor that will provide crisp, bright images, while reducing the strain on your eyes. MonitorTest displays a series of specially designed images on the screen at a variety of different resolutions and color depths to test for optimum visual performance. Each of 25 different test screens have been created to test a particular aspect of the monitors performance.rnAs a monitor is often the most expensive part of a computer system, this type of testing is essential for the adjustment & selection of a quality monitor. Users would include computer repair centers, system integrators, quality assurance personnel, graphic designers and anyone that cares about the quality of their monitor. MonitorTest runs in Windows and will work at any resolution, aspect ratio and color depth supported by your monitor and graphics card.rn rn•Comprehensive help file. rn•25 different test patterns including: rnoMaster screen rnoConvergence rnoContrast rnoColor scales rnoFonts rnoPrinter color calibration rnoPersistence rnoGamma measurement rnoZooming to verify power supply stability rnoSolid colors to test for missing or always on pixels rn•Display of monitor and video adapter system information rn•Support for all available resolutions and color depths rn•Support for all display types (CRT, LCD, Plasma, etc.) rn•Supports video cards with up to 300 different video modes. rn•Looped testing to continually test you
