Hardware performance tester is designed to automatically restart the computer whenever any failure in the Windows OS or basic modules of Axxon PSIM™ software occurs.

Hardware performance testing is done in one of two ways:

1. With the help of Watchdog used on servers with installed video capture cards that support the Watchdog hardware testing (see Appendix 3. Technical specifications of video capture cards).
2. With the help of USB-Watchdog used on servers and clients without installed video capture cards.
