Need to identify a connected USB device, check its driver, or spot a disconnection? Temple displays information about USB devices attached to the computer, including driver, manufacturer, protocol, and power details.
Temple displays details for each connected USB device
The device view identifies USB devices by name and shows a general description alongside details such as manufacturer, serial number, supported protocols, and installed driver. Driver information includes the version in use. Temple also displays power information and other device data.
For a hard drive or removable drive, the displayed details include its transfer rate. This gives users a way to inspect what the computer recognizes and see which driver is associated with a particular device.
Device changes appear as USB connections change
Temple automatically detects newly connected USB devices and refreshes its device information as connections change. When a device disconnects, those updates can reveal that the connection has dropped while the device is in use.
The same device details can help investigate a USB port that does not appear to detect a connected device. Temple can also be used to update drivers.
Save a text record of connected USB devices
The save feature creates a text file recording information about devices connected through each USB port at the time the file is saved. The record provides a snapshot of the current connections for later reference.
