Timeline view toolbar options, contextual menu options, and keyboard shortcuts
ARM Streamline provides easy ways to navigate and modify the Timeline view using the
toolbar and a variety of contextual menu options and keyboard shortcuts.
6.5.1
Toolbar options
The toolbar buttons in the Timeline are:
Help
Brings up contextual help in Eclipse.
Toggle bookmark markers
Activates or deactivates the bookmark markers in the Timeline
view. If selected, Streamline places vertical lines that stretch across the charts and
processes sections under each of your bookmarks.
Toggle HUD Display
Toggles the Samples HUD on and off.
X-Ray mode
Toggles x-ray mode on and off. When on, Streamline replaces the heat map in the
Processes section with a color-coded map that shows which core spent more time
on a process or thread in the given increment. Blue in the Processes section means
the first processor spent the most cycles, while turquoise indicates that the second
processor did. Amber represents the third core and purple the fourth. In a single
core system, all active areas in the Processes section are blue. Hover over a color
in the processes for a tooltip that tells you which core the color represents.
Reset filtering
Reset the calipers. The calipers are the blue arrow controls at the top of the
Timeline view that you can use to filter the statistics in the reports to an area of
interest.
Select Annotation log...
Opens the Log view and selects the closest Annotation-generated message to the
current position of the Cross Section Marker. This option is not applicable if you
did not include
ANNOTATION
statements in your code. For more information on how
to use the Annotate feature, see
Customize reports using Annotate
Zoom in one level, Zoom out one level
Enable you to cycle through the levels of zoom. Use the plus and minus buttons
to increase or decrease the units of time used to represent one bin in the Timeline
view.
Time index marker
Shows the time index of the current location of the mouse cursor. The time index
marker contains a drop down menu that enables you to specify the level of zoom
for the Timeline view.
