Graphics Frame Analyzer Window: Open Frame Capture

To access this window, right-click the Graphics Monitor icon in the taskbar notification area and select Graphics Frame Analyzer. You can also run Graphics Frame Analyzer from the Windows* Start menu or Apps view.

Use this window to open previously captured frame files and streams for profiling. You can preview all the frames and streams available on your host system:

	Frame Capture Thumbnails pane Select the capture you want to profile. By default, this field lists all frame and stream captures located in your Intel® GPA home directory `%USERPROFILE%\Documents\GPA`. You can sort and filter the files by the API type or date using the corresponding buttons or using the Filter by field. If all the capture files on your system are of the same type, the API type tabs are hidden. The currently selected file capture is highlighted with a blue border and appears in the preview pane. Capture file thumbnails are marked with the following icons: Frame Stream Invalid file To delete capture files, hover the mouse pointer over a capture file thumbnail and click the Close button in the top right-hand corner of the thumbnail. Confirm your choice by clicking Yes on the thumbnail. You can pin favorite capture files to the top of the list by clicking the Pin button in the top left-hand corner of the thumbnail.
	Preview pane Preview the selected file capture. This field shows the buffer image and the following file capture properties: File name API used Screen resolution Name of the device on which the file was captured GPU details If you are trying to open a stream captured on a different GPU or using a different graphics driver version, you will see the warning that it can be a cause of unpredictable playback failure. To rename the selected capture file, you can click its filename and enter a new value. Click Open to open the selected capture file in the Multiframe View window for streams or in the Profiling View window for frames. To open the storage directory of the selected file capture, click the button.
	Choose Target System button Select the target system or GPU against which to test the capture files by clicking this button and selecting the required system or GPU from the list. By default, Graphics Frame Analyzer uses your local host system (this PC). To add a remote target system to the list, click this button and enter the IP address of the target system in the field on the bottom of the list. Optionally, you can set an alias for the remote system in the Enter device name field.
	Message pane See the Intel® GPA messages or notifications, if there are any.
