VPC-PCT
 


PC Trainer-cum-Demonstrator (Computer Application Trainer)....to impart training and to understandhardware & software of PC - an easy teaching aid for man to machine communication.

We are using personal computers PC/AT for various industrial and office purpose . Specially  to  impart  training  on  various blocks of  hardware and their co-relation with software, VPC-PCT is  designed. The PC Trainer  &  Demonstrator has thehardware as per IBM standard which can be analysed for bothhardware and software with a powerful monitor at an area not used during  normal  PC  operation.  It has 28 keys and eight seven segment display and 8K bytes of RAM area for development & debugging of software. Since the monitor is independent and BIOS does not use any functions, the PC Trainer provides the facility to debug and analyse different blocks of the computer independently, whereas the same operation of training and debugging during the normal operation might be incomplete or improper or crashing of the system resulting in halting of the entire system.

APPLICATIONS

  • Training on PC Hardware
  • Training on PC System Software (BIOS)
  • Servicing of PC through Software

VPC-PCT can be used both in PC Demonstrator as well as normal PC mode, with the help of switch provided on the front panel.
The PC Trainer cum Demonstrator is having the following features to study Hardware, Software and Debugging of:

  • Timer/Counter
  • Interrupt Controller
  • Peripheral I/O
  • Keyboard test
  • CGA/VGA Test
  • Serial Port Test
  • Parallel Port Test using key keyboard
  • Memory refresh
  • Post Code Display using PCI Bus Card
