System Settings
A continuous check is carried out on the PC’s system resources. These graph bars are
located under the system settings menu and indicate the performance of the system. Often
systems grow bit by bit and no care is given to memory, hard disk space or CPU usage. This
can result in very slow operation or, in the case of lack of hard disk space, a computer crash.
Real-time indicators are:
CPU usage
The CPU usage displays how hard the processor is working. If this is
continuously running at around 100% then the system will be slow. In such
instances the system perforance would improve substantially if the processor
is upgraded. During backups etc. this indicator will go to 100%, which is quite
normal since these tasks are processor intensive.
Memory
This displays the total amount of RAM in use by the computer. Often other
applications running in the background occupy a lot of memory therefore
leaving less than expected for the access control application. A continuous
100% bar shows that adding memory will improve performance substantially.
HDD Usage
This should never come too close to 90%. Clean or remove unwanted and
obsolete files from the hard drive to free up disk space. If there is not
sufficient hard disk space available, the computer will become very slow and
eventually will stop operating. Refer to your Windows manual for further
details.
