GroupTable Name Description
Asset Data
hwAssetData Information that is not automatically
collected by the Scanner can be entered
manually as each computer is scanned.
The information collected is usually
referred to as asset data, and includes
details about users, departments, physical
assets, equipment, and any other
information that is useful to record.
hwAssetAnalysis Analysis Asset Fields are "extra" asset
fields that are created on the fly and given
a value after scanning, when processing
the scan file in Viewer, Analysis
Workbench or the XML Enricher.
Analysis Asset Fields are defined in the
Load Options dialog.
hwAssetAutomatic Automatic Asset Fields consist of fields
automatically populated by the scanners
and referenced by sequence, os/scan and
combination fields. These fields are not
shown in the scanner user interface.
hwAssetCustomData Contains the name/value pairs of the
custom data detected by the post-scan
script.
hwAssetDataInfo This shell contains information about
asset data fields. Most entries will be
automatically discovered, but some
entries may have been entered by a user.
As such entries may require special
treatment, a list of them is maintained
here.
BIOS Data
hwBiosData BIOS stands for Basic Input/Output
System. The system BIOS is the lowest-
level software in the computer, it acting
as an interface between the hardware
(especially the chipset and processor) and
the operating system. The BIOS is also
responsible for allowing you to control
your computer's hardware settings, for
booting up the machine when you turn on
the power or hit the reset button, and
 various other system functions.
hwBiosMachineDescriptions Contains a list of possible description
strings extracted from the machine's
BIOS.
hwBiosMachineExtensions Contains a list of BIOS extensions
installed on the machine.
Bus Data
hwBusData Displays information about the
architecture of the bus used in the
computer - ISA, EISA, PCI, MCA or
PCMCIA. A bus is used to transfer data
between a computer's components.
Information is also displayed about cards
that are supported by the various bus
types.

ID are reported.
hwCPUCacheInformation Contains information about the cache
memory on the computer. Cache memory
holds recently accessed data. It is
intended to speed up subsequent access to
the same data. When data is read from or
written to main memory a copy is also
saved in the cache, along with the
associated main memory address.
hwCPUs This contains information about all CPUs
in the machine; each field is repeated for
 every CPU the machine contains.
hwLegacyFPUData A co-processor is a processing unit that
aids the CPU in performing certain types
of operations. For example, a numeric
coprocessor performs floating point
operations. Modern CPUs have the
Floating Point unit built in and do not
rely on an external processor for this.

head (also known nown as tracks). There
are typically 512 bytes per sector, and 63
sectors per track, with the number of
cylinders and heads varying widely from
disk to disk.

element, starting with a fixed-length (and
vendor-specific) header record, followed
by one or more variable-length log
records.An application can implement
event-log change notification by
periodically reading the System Event
Log structure (via its assigned handle)
looking for a change in the Log Change
Token. This token uniquely identifies the
last time the event log was updated.
 When it sees the token changed, the
application can retrieve the entire event
log and determine the changes since the
last time it read the event log.

ports. The port's type and connector
information are provided. One structure is
 present for each port provided by the
system.
hwsmbiosProcessorInformation The information in this structure defines
the attributes of a single processor. A
separate structure instance is provided for
each system processor socket/slot. For
example, a system with an IntelDX2
processor would have a single structure
instance while a system with an IntelSX2
processor would have a structure to
describe the main CPU and a second
structure to describe the 80487 co-
processor.Note: One structure is provided
for each processor instance in a system.
For example, a system that supports up to
