Instrumenting Dialog Box

Related Topics

Use the Instrumenting dialog box to monitor the instrumentation progress for modules in native-compiled programs. Quantify displays the name and size of the file being instrumented, and how Quantify is measuring functions in the file. Quantify also displays a progress bar for each file it is instrumenting. Quantify can display the following colors in the progress bar:

Blue

Indicates that file instrumentation was successful.

Yellow

Indicates an instrumentation warning. If Quantify detects warnings, it continues to instrument the program and then displays the Instrumentation Warning dialog box so you can select whether to run the program.

Red

Indicates an instrumentation error. If Quantify detects errors, it stops instrumenting the file and displays the Instrumentation Error dialog box so you can view the instrumentation log information.

Quantify displays all instrumentation information in the Log tab of the Run Summary window.

Notes:

§      Instrumentation dialog boxes appear only when you are instrumenting native-compiled (unmanaged) programs.

§      Click Cancel Instrumentation to stop instrumenting the program and close the dialog box.

§      Use the Runs tab in the Preferences dialog box to specify whether you want to see this dialog box when you instrument.

§      If the program includes debug data files (such as .pdb, .map, or .dbg), Quantify also instruments these files, but they do not appear in this dialog box. Quantify reinstruments debug files only when the associated module is reinstrumented.

§      If you previously instrumented and ran the program with Quantify, Quantify instruments only the new or updated files; otherwise, it uses the previously instrumented versions. Quantify reinstruments files if the timestamp or requested measurement type has changed.

§      Minimize or close this dialog box to instrument in the background and continue working with Quantify.
