14.12Encoding problems
Per default, UTF-8 encoding is used. If you have any problems regarding encoding you can force any
java application to use UTF-8. By setting the (Windows) environment variable JAVA_TOOL_
OPTIONS to -Dfile.encoding=UTF8, the (Java) System property will be set automatically every time
a JVM is started.
14.13Reserve RAM for Java heap space
As the generation of PDFs in the Site Survey Tool might need a lot of memory (depending on the
amount of measurements, uploaded pictures, …) we recommend to use half of the available memory
for the Site Survey Tool.
In this case, please start the Site Survey Tool via Command Line (or create a corresponding shortcut
respectively batch file) with corresponding parameters.
If your notebook has 4 GB RAM, please reserve 2 GB for the Site Survey Tool with following
command:
D:\Builds\sitesurvey>java -Xmx2g -jar sitesurvey.jar
Example:
l m for megabyte
-Xmx512m
