Getting Started

The primary goal of the Carbide.c++ Performance Investigator (PI) is to gather performance data on a handheld device and save the data to a profiler data (.dat) file. On your PC workstation, PI lets you analyze that performance data. The Performance Investigator analyzer software is a plugin to Eclipse Carbide.c++.

Importing the profiler data file in Carbide.c++ will launch the analyzer and present graphs and tables related to the data captured on the handheld target device. The following links provide information to capture and analyze data.

NOTE You can also use Performance Investigator Setup to walk you through this getting started process.

NOTE The recommended amount of memory is at least 1Gbytes. If you open or import several large profiler data files, the Java Virtual Machine executing Carbide.c++ may run out of memory.

To allocate more memory, edit the Carbide.c++.ini file (typically in the Carbide.c++ folder that contains Carbide.c++.exe). For example, for 1GBytes, edit Carbide.c++.ini to contain -Xmx1024m and then restart Carbide.c++.
