Remote Monitoring

SA provides the capability to pull an open SA file from any computer reachable on the network and work with it. You can also remotely view the SA application, graphical view, or HUD windows from another computer (if applicable).

For privacy and security reasons, both of these remote viewing capabilities require the computer being monitored to have its remote Viewable option set.

To Work With the Current File From Another Network Computer (Currently only available in the classic menus):

  1. From the menu, select File>Remote Monitor another SpatialAna- lyzer.

  2. When the Remote Monitor Options dialog appears, double- click any SA file’s Remote Monitor option. Or, select the Use manual entry of ip (or computer) and port option and manually enter the IP address or computer name and port number to connect to, then click OK.

The file will be pulled from the other computer and opened. A time- stamp will appear in the corner of the graphical view to indicate the time when the file was pulled.

To View an Active Window From a Remote Instance of SA:

  1. From the menu, select File>Remote Window Viewer.

  2. In the resulting Remote Window Monitor Options dialog, dou- ble-click the Remote Window Viewer entry that you’d like to connect to, or select the Use manual entry of ip (or computer) and port option and enter an IP address/computer name and port number, then click OK.

  3. When the Select Remote Window dialog appears, select the desired option, then click OK. A separate window will appear, which will periodically get updated. You are now watching the other computer’s SA instance, live.
