Launching an Application Manually

Pre-requisites:
Before launching your application for analysis:
  • Launch the Graphics Monitor on your target system.
    The Graphics Monitor icon appears in the taskbar notification area.
To run your application manually with the System Analyzer HUD enabled:
  1. Double-click the Graphics Monitor icon in the taskbar notification area.
    The 
    Graphics Monitor Launcher Screen
     opens.
  2. In the Graphics Monitor
    Launcher screen
     , select an application for analysis:
    • In the
      Command Line
       field, browse to your application or enter the full application path. You can also enter any command-line options required to run your application.
      If the path to the application contains spaces, put the path in
      quotation marks.
    • If you already analyzed your application with Intel® GPA, you can select the application from the list of recently run applications.
  3. (
    Optional
     ) In the
    Working Directory
     field, type the directory in which the application should run. This is useful for games that use a launcher or mission packs located in a different directory than the game files.

  8. Stream
     . Choose this mode to capture a frame sequence until the application is stopped.
  9. Click
