Hardware performance tester is used for computer autoreboot in case of the Windows OS or main Axxon PSIM software modules failure.

Axxon PSIM™ software allows configuring the Watchdog hardware performance tester when using video capture cards that support this functionality (see Appendix 3. Technical specifications of video capture cards).

The Watchdog hardware performance tester on the Server with installed video capture cards is configured in 3 stages:

  1. Make sure that the Watchdog hardware performance tester is connected correctly (see Connecting the Watchdog hardware performance tester section).
  2. Activate the function of the Watchdog hardware performance tester on the settings panel of the Video Capture Device object.
  3. Verify the Watchdog hardware performance tester.

Activate and verify the Watchdog hardware performance tester as follows:

  1. Go to the Hardware tab in the System settings dialog box.

  2. Set the Activate watchdog checkbox on the settings panel of the Video Capture Device object corresponding to one ADC on the card to which the Watchdog is connected (1).

    Note

    When SC300Q16 (FX4), SC300D16 (FX8) or SC310N16 (FX16) as well as SC330Q16 (analogue of SC300Q16) or SC330D16 (analogue of SC300D16) video capture cards are in use, set the Activate watchdog checkbox checked in the settings of every Video Capture Device object created for the card to which the Watchdog is connected.

    Note

    The 07 PCI channel is to be selected for one of the Video Capture Device objects corresponding to the ADC of FS8 card for correct operation of the Watchdog hardware performance tester on FS8 video capture card. At the same time the Watchdog hardware performance tester can be activated on the settings panel of any Video Capture Device object of FS8 card.

  3. To save the changes, click the Apply button (2).
  4. End the video.run process using the Windows task manager.
  5. If the Watchdog hardware performance tester is connected and configured, then there is Windows reboot.

Note

On SC200Q4 (FS15) and FX video capture cards Windows reboots in several minutes after ending the video.run process.

Activation and verification of the Watchdog hardware performance tester is completed.
