5.2 Starting and Running the Program
Program uses a window interface. Choose a window from the
'Information' menu (hot key F10). If a window border is inactive
(gray) this window is unavailable (for example, there is no PCI
bus on the computer). If there are scrolling bars in a window, you
can scroll it using cursor keys or a mouse.
5.3 Using Help System
Program provides you with a hypertext context-sensitive help
facility. You can choose an item from the Help:Contents menu or
use the hot key F1. English is the help system default language.
If you wish to change it, choose an item Help:Language. In the
appear red window choose the language you need and click the OK
button. You can navigate in the help system using cursor keys or a
mouse on the scrolling bar. You can go to hypertext links by press
TAB (forward) or Shift-TAB (back) and Enter (go to the link)
buttons. To quit the help system, press the ESC button.
5.4 Creating a File Report
To create a file report, choose the Full Report item (hot key F2)
in the Report menu. You can type the report name and comments in
the appeared window. By default program will create file astra.rpt
with the content of the ASTRA's all information windows will be
created in its catalogue. If your computer has a network name,
file report will be named after it (maximum 8 symbols). Creation
of summary (Report:Summary Report) and INI (Report:INI Format
Report, see 4.5) reports is also available.
5.5 Running in Batch Mode
Usage:
ASTRA /R[J,S] [[path\]filename[.ext]] [/Q] [/?]
/R[S,J] [[path\]filename[.ext]] - creating report in the 'path'
directory with the 'filename' name and '.ext' extension. Default
'path' directory is the program's directory even if it is not the
current directory. The default name of the created file is 'astra'
or your network computer name, the default extension is '.rpt'
[S] - creating summary report
[J] - creating a INI format report, the default extension is
'.rjs'.
/Q - quiet mode. Use it together with the key /R[S,J]
/nVESA - disabling VESA test
/nSCSI - disabling SCSI test
/nPNP - disabling PNP test
/nISA - disabling ISA/PnP test
/nLPT - disabling LPT/PnP test
/nSPD - disabling SPD test
/nDMI - disabling DMI/SMBIOS test
/nDDC - disabling DDC test
/nUSB - disabling USB test
/nDRV - disabling Drives test
/nUDMA - disabling external UDMA/SATA test
/nSB - disabling Sound Card test
/?, /H - help
Using macros in batch mode:
$HOSTNAME$ - insert host name
$MACADDR$ - inser primary MAC address
$DATE$ - insert current date (YYYYMMDD)
Example:
astra /r c:\reports\$DATE$\$HOSTNAME$.txt
5.6 Using ASTRA with hardware inventory management software
To create a file report in INI format, choose the INI Format
Report item in the Report menu or use /RJ command line key. This
file can be imported to Hardware Inspector.
Hardware Inspectror
Hardware Inspector is the application for automated hardware asset
tracking and inventory management of hardware. The Hardware
Inspector is unique because it keeps separate records of the
devices, and not just configuration settings of each computer.
Each device is assigned a passport, and the program keeps the
history of its transitions between workplaces and registers their
maintenance information. See more information on
http://www.hwinspector.com
5.7 Running in Windows
Program runs in a DOS-window under Windows 9x/ME. Due to the use
of the external Win32 module, program running in a DOS-window is
absolutely identical to the program operation in pure DOS. Before
starting the program in multitask OS, please close all
applications and make sure that no programs are using disk drives
and sound card otherwise identification of these devices can be
incorrect. Attention: after starting the program all data in the
Windows clipboard will be lost. The program can't be run in a
DOS-window under Windows 3.x, Windows NT/2000/XP and OS/2. Please
use ASTRA32 for Windows NT4/2000/XP/Server 2003/95/98/ME. Please
visit http://www.astra32.com to learn more about ASTRA32 for
Windows.

HDD Model: HDD vendor and model read from IDE-controller.
HDD Default Size: Real HDD size read from the IDE-controller. Due
to the two different ways of defining 'megabyte' your hard disk
capacity can be calculated in two different ways: after
calculating the number of bytes in the formula
heads*sectors*cylinder*512-bytes-per-sector you may get the result
in the unit 'megabyte' by dividing either by 1024*1024 (like in
the BIOS of the computer does) or by 1000*1000 (like the producers
of hard disks do).
Geometry: Logical number of heads, sectors per track and tracks
while CHS addressing. It has nothing to do with physical HDD
parameters.
Compatibility: Compatibility of this device with the specific
ATA/ATAPI standard.
Serial Number: HDD unique serial number.
Controller Revision: Number of the revision returned by the
IDE-controller.
HDD Marketing Size: The marketing size much more than real size.
In one 'computer' megabyte of 1048576 bytes, but in one
'marketing' (used by HDD manufacturers) of 1000000 bytes.
Buffer Size: Buffer size of the IDE-controller (you shouldn't mix
it up with disk cache). Part of the buffer can be used for system
purposes, and its real size can be smaller. Some hard disks don't
provide information on the buffer size.
Buffer Type: Internal buffer type of the IDE-controller. Possible
values - 'Not specified', 'Single ported single sector buffer',
'Dual ported multi-sector buffer', 'Dual ported multi-sector
buffer with a read caching'.

5.8.22 Window Monitor Info
This window is available only on computers with relatively new
monitors and video cards supporting the VBE/DC specification. All
recent cards support VBE/DC (some video cards have Plug-n-Play
ON/OFF modes - it should be ON). It is necessary to have new
Plug-n-Play cord connecting videocard and monitor in order to
detect monitor type.

Supported VESA Modes
Table with all supported VESA BIOS modes containing mode number,
text or graphic mode, horizontal and vertical resolution, colors,
pixel per bit number and supported features. VESA 1.2 modes are
compatible with traditional banked only modes. VESA 2.0 modes
support banked+linear modes. If your video memory is too small to
support one of mode will be marked Not Supported in the Features
section. Program displays list of additional S3 video modes for S3
video cards.
6. Troubleshooting
You may try to disable the detection of some components using
switches of the command line:
ASTRA /nVESA /nSCSI /nPNP /nISA /nLPT /nSPD /nDMI /nDDC /nUSB /nDRV
/nUDMA /nSB
/nVESA - disabling VESA test
/nSCSI - disabling SCSI test
/nPNP - disabling PNP test
/nISA - disabling ISA/PnP test
/nLPT - disabling LPT/PnP test
/nSPD - disabling SPD test
/nDMI - disabling DMI/SMBIOS test
/nDDC - disabling DDC test
/nUSB - disabling USB test
/nDRV - disabling Drive test
/nUDMA - disabling external UDMA/SATA test
/nSB - disabling Sound Card test
7. Known Bugs
1. While detecting your sound card using EMM386 memory manager the
following message can be displayed: 'EMM386 DMA buffer is too
small. Add D=64 parameter and reboot'. Do what EMM386 asks, and
everything will be fine.
2. SPD information can't be read from memory modules on some
Asustek motherboard models.
