then choose the "Analysis" tab.

Window Controls
"Ring on Suggestion Completion" checkbox
Checking this causes your system bell/beep to sound when the suggestion
process is completed.
Separator dropdown
Choose the separator between numbers when suggested numbers are displayed.
Precision dropdown
Use this dropdown menu to choose how many decimal places to display in most
reports.
"Thread Priority" slider
You can set the priority of the suggestion generation thread here. The
higher the thread priority, the faster Lotto Sorcerer will run when
generating suggestions, and the less processing power will be available to
other applications on your computer. Conversely, the lower the priority, the
slower Lotto Sorcerer will be when generating suggestions (while giving more
processor power to your other applications).
"Interface Updating" slider
You can set the priority of the interface updating during the suggestion
generation process here. The slower the interface updating, the faster Lotto
Sorcerer will run when generating suggestions. Conversely, the faster the
interface updating, the slower Lotto Sorcerer will be when generating
suggestions.
"Logging" dropdown menu
This preference gives you three
choices for logging during the suggestion generation process:
- "None" (no logging)
- "Normal" (logging)
- "Verbose" (logging)
Choosing the "Verbose" setting causes Lotto Sorcerer to write a far more
verbose log while generating suggestions. This will slow down the generation
process, and some lotteries can write log files as long as 100 megabytes.
Logs are saved in the "Logs" folder of the "Lotto Sorcerer v9 Files" folder,
located in your Documents folder.
