Selecting Run-Time Settings for All Programs (Performance Profiling)

Related Topics

 

1.    Open the Default Settings 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, for all Quantify sessions. 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, for all Quantify sessions. Not recording these times will speed up the run-time performance of programs 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 you are profiling Visual Basic p-code programs.

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

§      Quantify saves settings for all programs in the Quantifyw_pure.ini file. These settings apply for all future runs of all programs. To override a default setting for a specific program, use the Settings for exename dialog box.
