9.7. Viewing captured profiling information

Click the Profile tab in the Analysis window to view a statistical analysis of your trace information. You can use this tab to analyze control-flow information (branches), measure the time it takes to execute certain functions, and view call-graph data.

Note

The profile information is less accurate and in some cases might be incorrect if the captured trace is not continuous. To generate meaningful profiling information use trace start and end points at the boundaries of the functions you want to profile instead of, for example, setting ranges. It is important that you take into account which parts of your application image have been traced when interpreting profile information. For example, semihosting can affect the profiling results.

An example of the Profile tab is shown in Figure 9.19.
