Choose a counter template

Counter templates are pre-defined sets of counters that enable you to review the performance of both CPU and GPU behavior. The counter template you choose overrides the default counter template for the GPU in your device.

Before you begin

Follow the instructions in Connect Streamline to your device before you choose your counter template.

Procedure

  1. In the Start view, select the Use advanced mode checkbox.

  2. Click Select Counters.

  3. Click Add counters from a template templates to see a list of available templates.

    Templates available from the Select Counters dialog box.

  4. Select a counter template appropriate for the GPU in your device, then Save your changes.

    The number of counters in the template that your device supports is shown next to each template. For example, here, 101 of the 101 available counters in the Arm® Mali™ template are supported in the connected device. Streamline notifies you if the target device does not support all the counters that are defined in the selected template.

    Alternatively, to import an existing counter template, click Install and Load.

  5. Optionally, in the Start view, click Capture Settings to change settings related to your capture session, such as the sample rate and the capture duration (by default unlimited). See Set capture options in the Arm Streamline User Guide.
