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 BUILD 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)
