Selecting Run-Time Settings for the Current Program (Performance Profiling)

Related Topics

 

1.    Open the Executable Settings dialog box, or click Settings in the Run Program dialog box.

2.    Select the Run Time tab.

3.    Select how to time functions in user modules and system modules, and functions that block or wait, whenever you run the selected program. You can use elapsed time, kernel time, user + kernel time, or user time. You can also ignore timed functions, in which case Quantify simply reports their time as zero.

4.    Select whether to record minimum and maximum times for functions whenever you run the selected program. Not recording these times will speed up the run-time performance of the program during profiling.

Notes:

§      All data that Quantify collects for .NET managed code is collected by timing, at both the line and function level.

§      The Time measurement type is not supported when you are profiling native-compiled programs using selective instrumentation.

§      Functions in system modules does not apply when profiling Visual Basic p-code programs.

§      For timing method changes to take effect, you must rerun the program.

§      Quantify saves settings for the current program in the Exename_pure.ini file. These settings apply each time you run the selected executable, until you change a setting. To set default settings that apply to all programs, use the Default Settings dialog box.
