RESOLVE CONFIGURATION CONFLICTS NOW!
Find Out What's In Your System FAST
InfoSpotter Snapshot software is the fast, easy way to find out what is in your
computer, including the exact identity of the latest CPUs and cache memory. All
you do is run the program and it gives you an on-screen report of the contents
of the system. Part of the report shows system capability so you can anticipate
performance. You can even run the program with a special "FAST" command line
parameter that causes it to take a "snapshot" of the configuration, save it to
a file, and return to the operating system. You can use InfoSpotter Snapshot to
Identify the cause of and help you prevent configuration conflicts in:
. IRQ signal lines being shared by devices
. DMA signal lines being shared
. I/O addresses being shared
. Memory addresses (ROM and/or RAM) being shared
Print or store system configuration data on disk for future reference
Determine whether a system meets configuration requirements for a specific
application
Find out whether a system needs to be upgraded
Repeatedly exercise the system to "burn" it in.

License
- We have licensed InfoSpotter Snapshot engine to a variety of software
companies so they can include it in their software packages, or use it as a
sales aid.
Developers
save many thousands of dollars and hours of engineering by bundling it into a
software package, because they do not have to develop the features of Snapshot
themselves. As a result, they bring their own product to market faster, AND
they can take advantage of our continual enhancements to keep the discovery
engine up to date. A command line parameter allows the program to run in a
single pass, save the results to a file, and return to the operating system.
The developer's own software can then examine the data file to determine what
is in the system.
Sales persons
use InfoSpotter to determine whether a prospective customer's system is capable
of executing a particular application program. A simple batch file on the
diskette can run InfoSpotter Snapshot once and save the result on the diskette.
The sales person can evaluate the information then and there, or send it back
to the home office for a determination of suitability of the customer's system
to the company's application.
Consultants and Corporate MIS Groups
use InfoSpotter Snapshot to save the configuration of tens, hundreds, or
thousands of systems. The software lets them store all configuration records in
a central location to make it easier to assess spare parts and upgrade needs.

What is the System Rating Table?
The system rating table identifies the level of capability a system must have
to be rated as fair, good, great, or wow. You may edit the settings so as to
let the system rating report reflect system rating according to YOUR standards.
