 Action    name: SetAuto
 
This command allows you to disable and enable the autoanalysis and its indicator.

Usually, the auto analysis is enabled. Disable it if you are sure that it will help you.

Here you can change various kernel analysis options 1 and options 2 and options 3, change the processor type (if the processor module supports several types), or the assembler style. If the current processor has options, there will also be a button to change processor-specific options. If the current processor supports memory mapping, there will also be a button to change the memory mapping ranges.

The analysis indicator is located in the bottom left corner of the main IDA window (upper right corner in text verion). Possible values of the indicator:

 "          " empty indicator means that the indicator is turned off.
