A descriptive name for your capture options. By default, Streamline uses the contents of this field to name capture and analysis files.

The network address of the target. You can also enter the network name of your target here. The value given in this field overwrites the value in the Address field of the ARM Streamline Data view, if one has been given. The reverse is also true. If you enter a new address in the Address field of the ARM Streamline data view, it replaces the value entered here.

The target generates periodic measurement interrupts according to the following settings: Normal=1kHz, Low=100Hz, and None. The Normal setting works well for most instances. Low is recommended if you have a slow target, or if the target is heavily loaded, as the Low setting means less intrusion by Streamline. The Low setting does necessitate a longer capture to collect representative data. If you set Sample Rate to None, Streamline does not force the target to generate any periodic measurement interrupts. This ensures that Streamline has the lowest level of intrusion on your code, but also means that resulting Analysis Reports show only zeroes in any report columns that rely on sampling.

The default setting is unbounded streaming of target data directly to your host using a 1MB buffer. You can also use one of the following store-and-forward buffers:

If you select one of these sizes the capture ends when the buffer is full. This prevents the latency caused by streaming data from the target to the host.

The length of the capture session, in seconds. For example, enter 1:05 for 1 minute and 5 seconds. If you do not provide a value here, the capture session continues until you stop it manually.

Select this checkbox to ensure that Streamline records call stacks. This greatly improves your visibility into the behavior of your target, but increases the amount of raw data Streamline sends from the target to the host. Make sure to compile your EABI images and libraries with frame pointers using the-fno-omit-frame-pointer compilation option.

Use this field to define the directory location and name of the file generated by the capture and analysis session. By default, the file is saved to a results directory defined by an install variable and given the name @F_@N.apd. @F is a variable for the given configuration name, while @N is a sequential number.

Use this field to define the path to the caiman.exe executable, necessary to use the ARM Energy Probe to gather power output statistics. Leave this field blank if you do not have Energy Probe or do not wish to capture power data during the capture session.

You can add the following options with caiman.exe in the Enery Capture field:

If you select this checkbox, Streamline processes dwarf debug information and line numbers. This provides a higher level of detail in your Analysis Reports, but results in higher memory usage.

If you select this checkbox, Streamline processes more data, enabling you to zoom in three more levels in the Timeline view. By default, the highest resolution in the Timeline view is the millisecond, but with this option enabled, you can zoom into one hundred microsecond, ten microsecond, and one microsecond bin sizes.
