NVIDIA Nsight Visual Studio Edition 2.2 User Guide > Installation and Setup Essentials > Target and Host Setup > Setup Local Debugging

To configure NVIDIA Nsight in a local debugging configuration, follow these steps:

  1. Make sure that the machine you are using meets the system requirements.
    For more information, see System Requirements for NVIDIA® Nsight™ Software.
  2. Install the NVIDIA Display Driver that came with the NVIDIA Nsight tools.
    If you already have an NVIDIA driver installed, the installer replaces it with an updated driver.
    For more information, see How To: Install the NVIDIA Display Driver.
  3. Install the NVIDIA Nsight software.
    For more information, see How To: Install NVIDIA Nsight.
  4. Start the Nsight Monitor.

    1. On the target machine, click the Windows Start Menu in the bottom left corner of the screen.
    2. Select All Programs > NVIDIA Corporation > Nsight Visual Studio Edition 2.2 > Nsight Monitor.
      The Nsight Monitor starts. The monitor icon appears in the system tray.

  5. Make any necessary configuration changes to the Nsight Monitor. (See Target Basics for more information on configuring the target machine, and see Timeout Detection and Recovery for information on configuring TDR settings.) 
  6. Certain changes will require you to reboot the target machine; others only require you to exit and restart the Nsight Monitor itself.

You have completed the installation of components needed to perform local debugging with NVIDIA Nsight.
