Memory Tracer Application Components

Capture The Capture button allows you to capture memory trace data to the file referenced in the Capture File field.

Pick File The Pick File button allows you to select a file into which memory trace data will be saved when the Capture button is clicked.

Capture File The Capture File field displays the path to the file into which memory trace data will be saved.

Analyze The Analyze button can be clicked to analyze and display the data in the specified memory trace file.

See also: Analyzing a Memory Trace File

Open File The Open File button can be clicked to open the Capture File dialog that allows you to select a file containing memory trace data for analysis.

Trace Version The Trace Version item identifies the file format of the memory trace file.

VTS Version The VTS Version item identifies the version of VTS that wrote the memory trace file.

Serial Number The Serial Number item identifies the serial number associated with the version of VTS that wrote the memory trace file.

Start Time The Start Time item identifies the date and time that VTS started.

End Time The End Time item identifies the date and time that VTS stopped.

Progress Bar The progress bar indicates the progress of the analysis once the Analyze button has been clicked and the memory trace file is being analyzed.

Reset The Reset button can be clicked to reset the fields in the Filter Ranges section.

Low Timestamp The Low Timestamp field enables you to filter the specified memory trace file to display in the Allocation Information list only those records that have a timestamp greater than the one entered in the Low Timestamp field (and lower than the one entered in the High Timestamp field).

Low Byte Size The Low Byte Size field enables you to filter the specified memory trace file to display in the Allocation Information list only those records that have a byte size greater than the one entered in the Low Byte Size field (and lower than the one entered in the High Byte Size field).

Low Caller ID The Low Caller ID field enables you to filter the specified memory trace file to display in the Allocation Information list only those records that have a caller ID greater than the one entered in the Low Caller ID field (and lower than the one entered in the High Caller ID field).

High Timestamp The High Timestamp field enables you to filter the specified memory trace file to display in the Allocation Information list only those records that have a timestamp less than the one entered in the High Timestamp field (and greater than the one entered in the Low Timestamp field).

High Byte Size The High Byte Size field enables you to filter the specified memory trace file to display in the Allocation Information list only those records that have a byte size less than the one entered in the High Byte Size field (and greater than the one entered in the Low Byte Size field).

High Caller ID The High Caller ID field enables you to filter the specified memory trace file to display in the Allocation Information list only those records that have a caller ID lower than the one entered in the High Caller ID field (and greater than the one entered in the Low Caller ID field).

Total Counts The Total Counts item (above the Allocation Information list) displays the total caller ID counts for each time slice.

Total Bytes The Total Bytes item (above the Allocation Information list) displays the total byte count for each time slice.

Count The Count column displays the caller ID count for each item in the list.

Total Bytes The Total Bytes column displays the total number of bytes for each item in the list.

Caller ID The Caller ID column displays the called ID for each item in the list.

Low Timestamp The Low Timestamp column displays the low timestamp (in milliseconds) for each item in the list.

High Timestamp The High Timestamp column displays the high timestamp (in milliseconds) for each item in the list.

Allocation Histogram The Allocation Histogram graphs the total bytes per selected time slice. You can rest the mouse pointer over any section of the graph to view a tool tip displaying bytes, counts, and the first three caller IDs for the selected portion of the time slice. You may also zoom in to view smaller segments of the time slice using the Zoom button (see below). The field just above the Allocation Histogram displays the date and time according to the position of the mouse pointer on the graph.

Zoom The Zoom button allows you to examine a selected segment of the time slice.
