Capturing energy data locally and importing it to a capture

To run a capture session locally and include energy data in the report, run caiman and gatord simultaneously then merge the two captures into one report.

Note

Power profiling is a deprecated feature, and is being removed from Streamline in a future version.

Procedure

  1. Open the Capture Settings dialog box.

  2. Enable energy capture by selecting Arm Energy Probe or NI DAQ from the Energy capture drop-down menu, then enter the settings for each channel.

  3. Enter all other options as normal.

  4. Export a session.xml file using the Export... option.

  5. On the host, start a caiman local capture where the channel and resistance pairs match what you configured in the exported session.xml. For example:

    caiman -l -r 0:20 -r 1:30
    
  6. At the same time, trigger a gatord local capture using the session.xml previously exported:

    gatord -s session.xml -o <YourFileName>.apc
    
  7. When ready, stop the gatord capture.

  8. Immediately stop the caiman capture.

  9. On your host machine, create a subfolder in the .apc folder of the gatord capture. Name the new folder energy.

  10. Copy the following caiman local capture files to the newly created energy folder: 0000000000, captured.xml, and, if it exists, warnings.xml.

  11. In the Streamline Data view, right-click on the merged capture and select Analyze... from the contextual menu.

  12. Use the Offset energy chart data buttons in the Chart Configuration panel in the Timeline view to match the energy data with other capture data.
