WinMSD Level, Vector, Raw, and Translated Definitions

SUMMARY

IRQ status in the WinMSD program provides information about software and hardware interrupts in Windows NT.

RAW data is actual resource data. Translated data is information passed up from the Hardware Abstraction Level (HAL) about the resource.

When you select RAW, Vector indicates software interrupts and Level indicates actual hardware interrupts.

When you select Translated, Vector indicates the internal software interrupt in HAL and Level indicates the internal software identifier in HAL. RAW data is usually used to examine interrupt status in Windows NT.
