DiskCheckup settings can configured via the DiskCheckup Configuration dialog box.

 

Temperature unit
The unit used for temperature values (Celsius or Fahrenheit).
 
Temperature warning level
A user can enter a temperature warning level so that DiskCheckup can perform the appropriate action when the specified temperature level has been reached. The action performed is dependent on "Action on Threshold Exceed Condition".
 
Action on Threshold Exceed Condition
In the event that an attribute has reached its threshold value (or if the temperature warning level has been reached), DiskCheckup can perform the following tasks:

 Do nothing
 Nothing will be done.

 Display a message window
 A message box will be displayed.
 
 

 Send e-mail notification
 An e-mail notification shall be sent.  To configure notification settings, click the “Settings” button.  Refer to "E-mail Notification Setting".

Note: This action shall be performed once per attribute per device, unless the attribute value changes from the last time it was refreshed.
 
 
Auto-refresh after X minutes
Check this box if you want DiskCheckup to periodically retrieve the disk's SMART information. Enter the time interval in minutes in the corresponding text box.
 
Record SMART attribute for TEC computation
Check this box if you want DiskCheckup to record all SMART attributes for the purpose of predicting Threshold Exceed Condition.  Note that TEC data is recorded and added to a TEC binary file every time a device icon in the "Physical Devices" window list is clicked or if "Auto-refresh" is enabled.  To find out more on how DiskCheckup predicts TEC, refer to "Threshold Exceed Condition prediction".
 
Minimize to System Tray
Check this check box if you want DiskCheckup to minimize to the system tray instead of the task bar.
