This handy development tool will pay for itself the first time you push the button. It is essential hardware for the system of every developer working on programs such as device drivers or interrupt handlers.
When a system freezes during software programming and testing, a hardware reset results in the loss of crucial system information, along with valuable development time. The Universal PCI Dump Switch card increases your productivity by eliminating the guess work normally required to debug the cause of the system hang. It includes an exterior push button to trigger a Non-Maskable Interrupt (NMI), which will enable a crash dump, or drop you into your operating system's debugger.
With this card, a software debugger can troubleshoot events even when the bug causes a complete lock of the operating system. (The PCI Dump Card does not reset the host computer.)

The PCIe Dump Switch card debugs system hangs with ease to save time and frustration. It is essential hardware for every developer. When systems freeze during development or testing, a hardware reset results in loss of crucial information that could be used to analyze the root problem. Instead of spending hours of valuable time sourcing the cause of the system hang, the PCIe Dump Switch identifies bugs at the push of a button. The button on the PCIe Dump Switch triggers a Non-Maskable Interrupt (NMI), enabling a crash dump or drops execution into your operating system's debugger. This dump action preserves information that would normally be lost during a reset.
