ABSTRACT:
A monitor system for computer equipment under test comprising a system monitor in communication with a storage element and a status indicator. The system monitor scans video memory for values indicative of a pass, fail or test in progress condition. The system monitor also determines if the computer equipment has failed to respond to testing resulting in a locked up "frozen" condition. The status indicator communicates with an external port of the computer equipment to receive and display signals from the system monitor indicative of the test status. In addition, when the computer equipment fails to respond to testing, the system monitor communicates with a storage element to capture detailed information related to the condition of the computer equipment. The storage element may reside within the computer equipment under test or may be distributed across a local or wide area network in communication with the computer equipment under test.
