Collecting Profiler Data Remotely

+ +

Instead of collecting performance data with PI Profiler on the device and +importing it to Carbide.c++, you can also collect performance data directly +from Carbide. The PI Import Wizard offers the option of collecting profiler +data remotely from a device via a TraceViewer connection.

+ +

To collect profiler data remotely, perform the following steps.

+ +
+

Importing a Profiler Data File

+ +
Open Import Wizard
+ +

In Carbide.c++, select Carbide > Performance +Investigator.

+ +
Select Profiler Data File(s)
+
    +
  1. First use the radio buttons and select to get + profiler data From Device via TraceViewer . +

    NOTE Use the From File + System option if you want to import existing PI Profiler data + files. For more information see Importing + Profiler Data files.

    +

    The Wizard automatically tries to fetch information on supported plugins + from the connected device. If you already have set up a working connection, + the plugins are listed in the Select Plug-ins for Tracing + field. Otherwise you will get the below notice:

    +

    +

    +

    In this case, or if you want to change the settings, follow the + instructions below:

    +
      +
    • Select Connection settings to open the TraceViewer Connections + Setting dialog. Select the connection you want to use or create a new + one. For more information, see TraceViewer Connection + Settings. +

      NOTE You can use a USB or a TCP/IP + Musti connection, but for profiling several samplers Musti is + recommended due the too high amount of data.

      +
      • +
    • Click OK in the Connection Setting dialog to save + the settings and exit. +

      The selected connections is now shown below the Connections + Settings button.

      +
      • +
    • Click Refresh Plug-ins List . +

      The Wizard fetches the information on supported plugins and updates + them to the Select Plug-ins for Tracing list.

      +

  2. Select the plug-ins you want to trace from + the list.
    3. +
  3. Fill in the Profiler Data File Prefix you want to use as + the name of the Profiler .dat file created.
    4. +
  4. Click Start Tracing. +

    The wizard starts tracing. You can see the name of the created base64 + encoded file (*.base64), the trace time (how long the trace has + been running), as well as the size of the file in the Created + Profiler Data File(s) list.

    +
    5. +
  5. Click Stop Tracing to finish tracing. +

    Tracing stops and the Wizard start converting the *.base64 file + into a *.dat file. You can follow the progress of the conversion + from the progress bar. When the conversion is done, you can see the name of + the file in the Created Profiler Data File(s) list change + to *.dat.

    +

It is possible to import several Profiler data files, so after the tracing +and file conversion, you can either
