Abstract
One embodiment of a diagnostic system is a diagnostic device which tests at least one modular-processing device, comprising a coupler configured to communicatively mate with an access port residing on the modular-processing device, and a video controller configured to receive video information from the modular-processing device and configured to generate a video signal that is communicated to a display.
Claims20
A diagnostic device that tests at least one modular-processing device, the diagnostic device comprising:
- a coupler configured to communicatively mate with an access port residing on the modular-processing device;
- and
- a video controller configured to receive video information from the modular-processing device and configured to generate a video signal that is communicated to a display.
A testing system comprising:
- a plurality of modular-processing devices, each of the modular-processing devices being configured to communicate at least video information;
- a diagnostic device configured to communicatively couple to one of the modular-processing devices;
- and
- a video controller residing in the diagnostic device and configured to receive the video information from the modular-processing device, and further configured to generate a video signal that is communicated to a display.
A method for testing modular-processing devices with a diagnostic device, the method comprising:
- receiving video information from one of the modular-processing devices;
- converting the received video information into a video signal using a video controller residing in the diagnostic device;
- and
- communicating the video signal to a display.
A system for testing modular-processing device, the system comprising:
- means for communicatively coupling a diagnostic device to a modular-processing device;
- means for receiving video information from the modular-processing device;
- means for converting the received video information into a video signal using a video controller residing in the diagnostic device;
- and
- means for communicating the video signal to a display.
A modular-processing device, comprising:
- an access port configured to communicatively mate with a coupler residing on a diagnostic device;
- and
- a processor configured to generate video information in response to testing initiated by the diagnostic device,
- wherein the communicated video information is processed by a video controller that is configured to receive the video information and generate a video signal that is communicated to a display.
