Abstract
The invention comprises, in various embodiments, a method for monitoring an internal test on a remote computer. The method includes reading a line from the remote computer with a processing unit. The line is capable of sending at least one result signal for the test. The method includes sending a fail signal from the processing unit to a reporting device when none of the new result signals are read during any time period of a preselected length.
Claims14
A method of testing a remote computer comprising:
- reading a line from said remote computer by a processing unit, said line capable of sending at least one result signal of the testing;
- sending a fail signal from a logic device of said processing unit to a reporting device when no new result signal is read during any time period of a preselected length, wherein a timing clock is connected to the logic device;
- and
- taking a fail action in an assembly line in connection with the remote computer in response to the fail signal, wherein said fail action includes controlling operation of a conveyor system.

A method of testing a computer system during assembly, comprising:
- receiving, by a logic device of a processing unit, an indication of a result of an internal test performed in the computer system, wherein a timing clock is connected to the logic device;
- sending a fail indication from the processing unit to a reporting device when a result indication is not received from the computer system within a predetermined time period;
- and
- taking a fail action in an assembly line in connection with the computer system in response to the fail indication, wherein said fail action includes controlling operation of a conveyor system.
