When you run SYVIR PC it will build a 3D model of your PC and automatically
run a diagnostic check of your PCs internal hardware.
To do this manually Select Build PC from the Scan box.
 
The PC will be scanned with all available sensors.
Once the pc is scanned a permanent report is saved automatically.
 


This action creates a 3D virtual model of the PC.
In the hardware box a list of hardware that Syvir PC found in the scan is presented in a tree view.

By default SYVIR PC scans each PC on the network with a wide range of sensors.



O.S
The O.S sensor reads the operating system that is present on the target P.C. This is usually a version of Microsoft Windows. The Sensor returns the version and type of Windows.

Enclosure
Where available information on the target Pcs enclosure type is returned. Primarily this can be one of three types.
Tower
Desktop
Laptop

Processor
The processor sensor returns the manufacturer and model number of the cpu fitted to the motherboard. With some systems WMI will return two values for a dual core processor. SYVIR PC processor sensor returns just one cpu value.

Physical Memory
Memory Sensor detects how many internal memory cards are fitted to the motherboard. WMI returns values that include ROM BIOS memory for instance that is not fitted as a card. The memory sensor strips out this data to give a more accurate visualisation of the fitted memory cards.

Keyboard
Detects whether a keyboard is connected. The sensor recognises PS2 and USB keyboards. The keyboard (if connected) is represented by a single key connected to either the PS2 keyboard socket or a USB (Back) socket.

Pointing device.
Detects whether a pointing device (Mouse) is connected. The sensor recognises PS2 and USB pointing devices. The mouse (if connected) is represented by a virtual mouse connected to either the PS2 mouse socket or a USB (Back) socket.

Motherboard
The motherboard sensor detects if a baseboard is fitted and the manufactures part number of the board.

System Slots
The slots sensor detects PCI expansion slots on the motherboard. PCI and Express types are recognised. The virtual motherboard is populated with types of slots found by this sensor.

BIOS
Returns the ROM BIOS used on the motherboard. The value returns the BIOS Manufacture and model.

Video Controller
Typically video is provided through integrated graphics or a separate AGP graphics card. Video Controller sensor detects which type of graphics is fitted to the motherboard.

Hard Drive
Returns the make and model of the hard drives fitted to the system.

DVD/CD Drive
Returns the make and model of the DVD/CD drives fitted to the system.

Floppy Disk Drive
Returns the make and model of the Floppy Disk Drive fitted to the system. (Not shown in 3D system)

Memory Cards
Detects memory card external ports.

Tape Drive
Returns the make and model of the Tape Drive fitted to the system. (Not shown in 3D system)

USB Ports
Detects USB Ports front and back.

1394 Controller
Returns firewire details.

Network Adapter
Returns Ethernet adapters.

SCSI Controller
Returns details of SCSI devices.

Wireless
Detects if wireless is fitted to the system.

Serial Port
Returns details of serial ports on the motherboard.

Parallel Port
Returns details of parallel ports on the motherboard.

Sound Device
Detects which sound devices are fitted to the motherboard.

Fan
Detects fans fitted either to the enclosure or cpu.

Portable Battery
Senses if a portable battery is fitted.

Infrared Device
Returns details of a infrared device fitted to the motherboard.

PCMCIA Controller
Detects if a PCMCIA controller is fitted.

Refrigeration
Detects if a Refrigeration is fitted to the system.

Heat Pipe
Detects if a heat pipe is fitted to the motherboard.

Temperature Probe
Detects if Temperature Probes are fitted to the motherboard.

Lock
Detects if a lock is fitted to the enclosure.

Battery (UPS)
Detects if a uninterrupted power supply is fitted in the enclosure.

To perform a diagnostics scan to check for hardware problems on your pc. Select Scan from the Diagnostics box.

A process begins of scanning the PC for WMI data.
This data is granular diagnostic data for each sensor type.
Once a the pc is scanned a 3D version is populated with color coded status sensors.

Green signifies that the component is OK.
Yellow shows a component is in a warning state. This doesnt always mean a failure, just that the status is unknown of the component..
Red indicates an error in the target component.
The main status of a component is in the Status box.


Click on the component and detailed data will appear in the Diagnostics box.
Note that WMI does not always return data as to the status of a component, so in some instances components will not have status available and may show a Warning.. This doesnt mean a failure, just that the status is unknown of the component..


A data table of OK, Warning or Error messages is available by clicking on the bottom tabs.
By default WMI returns some data about the status of various messages.
Last Message box
This is generally the main message about the state of the hardware component. The usual state is OK. This means the component is working as expected.
Quite often you will find no message returned by a sensor. This is nothing usually to worry about. In some cases, for various reasons the component just doesnt produce a message.
OK
The OK message will produce a Green color for the component.

error
The component has produced an error, indicated by red.

degraded
The component has been degraded, indicated by red.

unknown
The status of the component is unknown, indicated by yellow. This doesnt mean a failure, just that the status is unknown of the component.

pred fail
The component is predicted to fail, indicated by red.

starting
The component is starting, indicated by green.

stopping
The component is stopping, indicated by yellow. This doesnt mean a failure, just that the component is stopping.

service
The service message is indicated by green.

stressed
The component is stressed, indicated by red.

nonrecover
The component is non recoverable, indicated by red.

no contact
There is no contact with the component, indicated by yellow. This doesnt mean a failure, just that there is no contact with the component.

lost comm
Communication with the component has been lost, indicated by yellow. This doesnt mean a failure, just that there is no contact with the component.
N/A
No message details is available.



WMI Messages
These are mapped to WMI message types.
Status Info
Returns the status info on the selected component.
Availability
Returns the availability of the current component.
Error Description
Details any error message on the current component.
Last Error Code
Returns the last error code of the current component.

Inaccurate 3D model.
Syvir PC builds a 3D model of the target PC based on Windows WMI data.
If this data is incomplete or wrong this will be reflected in the 3D model.
Inaccurate hardware inventory
Syvir PC makes an inventory list of the target PC based on Windows WMI data.
If this data is incomplete or wrong this will be reflected in inventory list.
Inaccurate diagnostics information.
Syvir PC receives diagnostics information from target PC based on Windows WMI data.
If this data is incomplete or wrong this will be reflected in the diagnostics information produced by Syvir PC.
