If you select File system, you can save the data file to a memory card or the target device C:\ drive. With the debug port output method, you will need hardware (such as the Nokia Musti box)  connected to the XTI/STI debug port to capture the profiler data. There is less profiler overhead if the debug port is used.</p>

    <p>You can specify the file prefix for data files. The name of the profiler data file is formed from the prefix plus stream.dat. If you perform multiple traces and use the file output option, include a hash mark (#) in your file prefix. Subsequent traces will then be saved with different file names. The hash mark is automatically replaced with a number. For example, if you define the file prefix as <span class="style1">PI_#_</span>, multiple trace files will be named  <span class="style1">PI_1_STREAM.dat, PI_2_STREAM.dat, &hellip; PI_100_STREAM.dat</span>. Only one hash mark is needed to provide sequential numbering.

    <p>In Advanced options, specify the thread priority sample interval (Figure 5). The operating system is called automatically every millisecond to determine what   thread is currently executing. This interval setting indicates how often an   additional query to the operating system is made to determine the priority of   the currently executing thread. The interval is specified in milliseconds. The   default is 3000 milliseconds (3 seconds). You can get a thread priority as often   as you like but be aware that frequent sampling of the OS may skew the   performance measurement while making the call. There is a significant overhead   to obtaining the priorities of all threads.</p>

    <p>You can choose an address/thread sampling interval between 1ms and 10000ms (10 seconds). For intervals greater than 1 ms, memory, power, priority and button events are sampled periodically; not every millisecond. Memory and button events are individual events. For memory and priority the current memory size and priority are recorded before entering the time interval, then changes during the interval are recorded and the final memory size and priority  when it exits the interval is recorded.</p>

    <p>After establishing your desired options, select <strong>Options &gt; Profiler &gt; Start</strong> from the main window (Figure 6) to begin sampling. On UIQ devices you will see the state of the profiler change from &ldquo;Ready&rdquo; to &ldquo;Initializing&rdquo;, and then to &ldquo;Profiling&rdquo;. On S60 3.x devices the state will change from  &quot;Initializing&quot; to &quot;Sampling&quot; and then &quot;Finished&quot;. When the state has changed to &ldquo;Profiling&rdquo; or &quot;Sampling&quot;, the trace activity has begun. Note that none of the configurations can be changed when the tracing is active.</p>

    <p class="note">  <b>IMPORTANT!</b> After the trace activity has started, leave the Profiler running in the background. Now you can proceed with the use case you wish to analyze. For example, run your application on the device.</p>

    <p>Stop the trace activity by switching back to the profiler and selecting <strong>Options &gt; Profiler &gt; Stop</strong>. Do not use the profiler while the trace data is being written to the data file. When the profiler is stopped, the profiler state shown in the main window will change from &ldquo;profiling&rdquo; to &ldquo;stopping profiler&rdquo;, and finally back to &ldquo;ready&rdquo;. The profiler data file is automatically written to the output previously selected. The actual amount of produced data depends on the length of time tracing was active and which trace options were selected. The Address/Thread trace alone produces approximately 1-4 Kbytes / second. Transfer the data file to your workstation to be analyzed with the analyzer.</p>
