Understanding hardware acceleration
Chapter 15: Gen3 Capture Card 331
Prerequisite(s):
To complete these steps, your probe instance list must show the active instance
of your GigaStor probe. This can be accomplished by using Windows Remote
Desktop to log on to the GigaStor system—so you can see the active instance
directly—or by temporarily redirecting the active instance (page 331) of the
GigaStor system to your Observer analyzer.
Hardware acceleration is enabled by default on the local active instance of your
GigaStor system. If you find that hardware acceleration is disabled, you can re-
enable hardware acceleration.
To enable hardware acceleration mode:
1. In the probe instance list, in Observer, right-click the active probe instance
and click Probe or Device Properties .
2. Click the Virtual Adapters tab.
Tip! Using the Expert Probe interface instead? Find this window tab at
Options > Virtual Adapters.
3. Select Enable Hardware Acceleration .
Figure 151: Hardware acceleration is enabled
The active instance now uses hardware acceleration provided by the Gen3
capture card.
To further verify that hardware acceleration is enabled, you can view the
capture
card driver properties (page 321) in Windows Device Manager.
Redirecting a probe instance
Your local Observer may already have local probe instances defined, but you can
add numerous remote probes, including GigaStor, too. You must first redirect the
remote probe to your local Observer.
