- Edit Locations...

- Capture options
Opens the Capture Options dialog box. Use it to set the parameters of any future capture sessions.
- Counter configuration
Opens the Counter Configuration dialog box. Use it to modify the performance counters tracked during your capture session.
To open the Analysis Data Locations dialog box, click the Edit Locations... button in the ARM Streamline Data view:
Use the Analysis Locations dialog box to define the folders on your file system that contain Streamline data. The ARM Streamline Data view shows any Capture Data and Streamline Analysis Reports contained in any of paths listed in this dialog box. To edit an existing path, double-click on it.
The following buttons are included in the Analysis Locations dialog box:
- Add
Opens another dialog box that enables you to search your file system to add a new folder to the list.
Note
There is a sample Streamline Analysis Report in the
xaossample directory if you have not already created one of your own. Use the Add button and choose thexaosproject directory to make the example Analysis Report appear in the Streamline Data view.- Remove
Deletes a folder from the list.
- OK
Closes the dialog box. All Capture Data and Streamline Analysis Reports contained in the newly defined folders now appear in the Streamline Data view.
- Cancel
Discards any current changes to the list of locations and exits the dialog box.
- Reset

If you have successfully captured data on your target, the
ARM Streamline Data view contains two resource types. Streamline
Capture Data has a .apc extension and contains
all of the raw data collected on the target during a capture session.
Streamline Analysis Reports have a .apd extension
and are created on the host from the information contained in the
Streamline Capture Data.
Note
Streamline Analysis Reports files are not compatible across different versions of Streamline, but the same is not true of Streamline Capture Data. If an upgrade to Streamline renders a Streamline Analysis Report incompatible, double-click on the Streamline Capture Data resource to re-run it and create a new, compatible Streamline Analysis Report.
You can use the Capture Options dialog box to set a specific capture session length, but if you want to control the length of the session yourself, you can use the Streamline data view to terminate it manually. To do so, click the Stop button that appears on the left in the new capture file.
