Enables or disables the profiler.

Clears all profiling data.

Opens a standard Save As dialog box where you can save the contents of the window to a file, with tab-separated columns. Only non-expanded rows are included in the list file.

Overlays the values in the percentage columns with a graphical bar.

Displays a backlog of profiling data that is still being processed. If the rate of incoming data is higher than the rate of the profiler processing the data, a backlog is accumulated. The progress bar indicates that the profiler is still processing data, but also approximately how far the profiler has come in the process.

Note that because the profiler consumes data at a certain rate and the target system supplies data at another rate, the amount of data remaining to be processed can both increase and decrease. The progress bar can grow and shrink accordingly.

Toggles between profiling a selected time interval or full profiling. This toolbar button is only available if PC Sampling is supported by the debug probe.

For information about which views that are supported in the C-SPY driver you are using, see Requirements for using the profiler.

Displays the range of the selected time interval, in other words, the profiled selection. This field is yellow when Time-interval profiling mode is enabled. This field is only available if PC Sampling is supported by the debug probe.

For information about which views that are supported in the C-SPY driver you are using, see Requirements for using the profiler.

The name of the profiled C function.

For Sampling source, sections of code from the runtime library or from other code without debug information, denoted only by the corresponding assembler labels, is displayed.

The number of times the function has been called.

The time expressed as the number of executed instructions spent inside the function.

Flat time expressed as a percentage of the total time.

The time expressed as the number of executed instructions spent inside the function and everything called by the function.

Accumulated time expressed as a percentage of the total time.

The number of executed instructions (Trace) or PC samples (Sampling) associated with the function.

The number of executed instructions (Trace) or PC samples (Sampling) associated with the function as a percentage of the total number of executed instructions /PC samples.

The number of power samples associated with that function.

The accumulated value of all measurements associated with that function, expressed as a percentage of all measurements.

The average measured value for all samples associated with that function.

The minimum measured value for all samples associated with that function.

The maximum measured value for all samples associated with that function.

Enables the profiler. The system will also collect information when the window is closed.

Clears all profiling data.

Selects which part of your code to profile. Choose between:

Check All—Excludes all lines from the profiling.

Uncheck All—Includes all lines in the profiling.

Load—Reads all excluded lines from a saved file.

Save—Saves all excluded lines to a file. Typically, this can be useful if you are a group of engineers and want to share sets of exclusions.

These commands are only available when using one of the modes Trace (flat) or Sampling.

Selects which source to be used for the profiling information. See also Profiling sources.

Note that the available sources depend on the C-SPY driver you are using.

Choose between:

Sampling—the instruction count for instruction profiling represents the number of samples for each instruction.

Trace (calls)—the instruction count for instruction profiling is only as complete as the collected trace data.

Trace (flat)—the instruction count for instruction profiling is only as complete as the collected trace data.

Toggles power sampling information on or off.

Saves all profiling data to a file.

Opens the editor window (if not already opened) and highlights the selected source line.
