Understanding hardware acceleration
Chapter 15: Gen3 Capture Card 333
6. Select the remote probe instance from the list, and click Redirect Selected
Probe Instance(s) .
Allow time for the remote probe to redirect. How long this operation can take
is limited by a timeout countdown.
The probe instances of the remote probe are shown.
7. Select a probe instance from the list, and click Redirect Selected Instance .
8. Select the Redirect to this Observer , and click the Redirect button.

9. Close the Probe Instance Redirection window.
If the operation succeeds, the remote probe instance is now redirected to the
local Observer. Now you can use the remote probe instance just as you would if it
was running on your local machine.
Hardware-accelerated mode restrictions
The Gen3 capture card has a very short list of restrictions while running in
hardware-accelerated mode. These restrictions are designed to keep your
hardware operating at peak performance when hardware acceleration is enabled.
While a Gen3 capture card runs in hardware-accelerated mode, it cannot:
♦
Connect itself to multiple probe instances without the aid of virtual
adapters (page 323) .
♦
Use overly complex filters that would affect hardware-accelerated
performance (rare occurrence). An error message will alert you if the filter
is too complex for hardware acceleration, but the filter can be rewritten or
tweaked to be accepted.
