Using Diagnostics

The programme, AirDiagnostic is offered to help with installation problems.  It shows essential details about an installed version of AirPhoto. For a stand-alone installation, this may look like:



The network version has additional entries:



Most importantly, it shows the networked drive and directory where airphoto.naf has been loaded as well as the number of maximum and current users.

Registered users of the network version may request a special code which when pasted into the field of that name to enables complete deletion of AirPhoto registry entries, files and directories:



To use this feature, you must be logged in as a member of the administrator group or an error message is shown:



This may be helpful if a change is made at the network server regarding the location of the network access file thus requiring re-installation of all network clients.  It can not repair a locked access slot.  That must be done on the server itself as described in Network Installation. 

Clicking on the SaveAll button creates data which can be saved to an ascii text file which may be sent as e-mail to help in diagnosing installation problems.

Typical output from the programme on a network installation after using the SaveAll option button looks like:

In addition to all hardware details, it shows all important information about the network access file and the user rights for the directory on which it has been installed.  Setting these rights correctly is usually the major problem when working with a network version.  The results above are shown for a Windows server.  Other servers such as Novell Netware or one of the many different Linux/Unix servers may not permit the programme to display these.
