# Software Setup

## System Settings

You will need to create a "Scratch" folder and configure this within the settings area of Marso Measure.

### Scratch Directory:&#x20;

* Up to 256GB will be used during processing, for intermediary files that will be cleaned up once complete.
* Fast R/W speeds are highly recommended. Slower drive speeds will slow down processing.

&#x20;\
This can be accessed by clicking your profile in the bottom left corner then **Settings**.

***

### Developer Settings

**Keep Intermediary Files** and **Enable Verbose Logging** should only be enabled if you are collecting debugging information for M-XR, following an issue with processing.&#x20;

They should be disabled otherwise, to not consume too much disk space.
