System Performance Analysis
Time Interval Tool
Data is displayed in histograms, which
can be exported to your host computer
either as histograms or as tabular
formatted text files.
Statistics such as maximum time,
minimum time, standard deviation and
mean help you document system behav-
ior. Use “accumulate mode” to analyze
the behavior of your system over a long
period of time.
Because time interval measurements often
depend upon hardware-software interaction,
the event definition can be a combination
of symbolics and hardware events. Data
qualification can be used to define the
specific hardware context in which the
analysis will be made.
