    New Installation

Following are detailed instructions to install Thermalyze and prerequisite hardware and software. Installation steps are separated into several procedures to simplify installation and aid in troubleshooting. If an installation procedure fails, it can be repeated until successful.

Software Preinstalled: If you purchased the computer from Optotherm, all of the hardware, software, and drivers have been preinstalled on the computer.  The information in this section is required only when updating software or if hardware drivers or software applications needs to be reinstalled.

Dedicated Computer: Thermalyze is a sophisticated application that places high demands on the computer processor and other resources and proper operation depends on the installation of several software modules and hardware drivers.  To prevent software or hardware conflicts that may interfere with its operation, the computer should be employed solely for Sentris use and installation of additional software or hardware unrelated to the operation of Sentris should be avoided.

Troubleshooting Tip

Messages Window 

The Messages window displays important information regarding the operation of Thermalyze such as camera communication errors or programming logic errors. 

To open the Message window, click the Show Messages item under the Setup menu or press the button in the Setup section of the Shortcuts toolbar. 

Troubleshooting using the Messages window: 
  1. Open the Messages window and check the "Open Window" box in the lower left of the window so that the window is always displayed. 
  2. Move the window to the lower right of the screen so that it is out of the way and leave it open. 
  3. Error and status messages that occur will be displayed in the window. 
  4. Take a screenshot of the Messages window after an error has occurred and please send it to support@optotherm.com.


Screenshots

For future support issues, please use the following method for capturing screenshots in order to obtain a high-quality image that we can read: 

  1. In the Windows search bar, search for Paint and the right click and select "Pin to Taskbar". 
  2. Press the "PrtScn" button to save a screenshot to the clipboard. 
  3. Open the Windows Paint program. 
  4. Click [Ctrl] v to past the screenshot into Paint. 
  5. Save the Paint image as a .png file to the desktop. 

Intel Virtualization conflict with Thermalyze image capture drivers

Symptoms

When running Thermalyze, a few seconds after pressing the Capture Images button, the Windows blue screen error (Figure 1 below) is displayed indicating an error due to DRIVER_VERIFIER_DMA_VOLATION.

Windows Blue screen error due to DRIVER_VERIFIER_DMA_VOLATION

Figure 1: Windows Blue screen error due to DRIVER_VERIFIER_DMA_VOLATION

Details

The problem appears to be caused by a conflict between Thermalyze image capture drivers and a recent Windows update involving Intel Virtualization.  Intel® Virtualization Technology abstracts hardware that allows multiple workloads to share a common set of resources. On shared virtualized hardware, a variety of workloads can co-locate while maintaining full isolation from each other, freely migrate across infrastructures, and scale as needed.

Solution 1: Disabling Intel Virtualization in the computer BIOS appears to prevent the DMA violation error and resulting blue screen.  This is the only work around currently available, however we are actively working on a solution that allows for Intel Virtualization to be enabled.

  1. In the Windows Search bar type “Settings” and open the Settings app.
  2. Click Update & Security.
  3. In the left pane, click Recovery.
  4. In the right pane under Advanced Startup, click Restart now.
  5. In the Choose an option screen, click Troubleshoot.
  6. In the Advanced options screen, click UEFI Firmware Settings.
  7. On the next screen, click the Restart button.
  8. The PC will now restart to the BIOS menu.
  9. On the left, expand Virtualization Support.
  10. Select Virtualization and then uncheck Enable Intel Virtualization Technology.
  11. Select VT for Direct I/O and then uncheck Enable VT for Direct I/O.
  12. Click Apply and when the Apply Settings Confirmation popup window opens, click OK.
  13. Click Exit and the PC will restart.
