SA provides a utility named Check My Computer that detects certain system configuration issues that may result in errors or problems while running SA. While this tool does not detect all issues—and while some checks may fail even though you never experience problems in SA—this is a useful diagnostic tool to use when you do encounter a problem. This tool does the following:
Checks for certain problematic software known to interfere with certain aspects of SA operation.
Verifies that a default printer is installed.
Checks for TCP/IP availability (a network interface).
Checks firewall settings (This check only verifies the current status of the firewall, not any exceptions applied to it).
Ensures that your computer’s network interface provides support for UDP broadcasting.
Ensures that your computer’s network interface provides support for socket communication and that it is not blocked.
Checks your User Account Control settings (Windows 7 and later) to ensure they’re not set too high.
Provides convenient access to system information and network configuration settings.
If you encounter an issue running SA, it is recommended to run this utility to check for problems and to contact support if necessary to find a resolution.
Large files (particularly those containing dense scan data or complex CAD files) can easily consume the available RAM on your system. To monitor your available/used RAM, SA provides a convenient memory monitor utility, which displays SA’s memory usage, total system memory usage, total RAM, and operating system information.
Provides a tool to monitor and capture UDP data streams from a number of output options. More details can be found Here
You can verify the integrity and consistency of any SA file. This tool will examine an SA file and verify that there are no corrupt internal references. A dialog will be displayed indicating whether any errors were found, and a log of the findings will be saved to the Analyzer Data\Reports\_SAJobFileConsistencyReport.txt file.
If any issues are found with the Check Job Data Consistency tool, you can attempt to repair them by regenerating references. This will walk through the measurements and ensure that each measured point has the proper references to its targets.
The log file offers a history of the operations within a particular SA job.
