Creating Snapshots

In online mode, a snapshot of all current measurement results can be created on the tab during a Profiler measurement. All created snapshots are managed on the Snapshots tab of the Profiler editor.

  1. For example: Configure a profiling measurement for your application using the instrumentation method.

  2. Start the application to the controller, and start the measurement.

    The measurement results are displayed in the Profiler editor on the various tabs.

  3. Click Save Snapshot. For the instrumentation and sampling methods, the command button for this is located on the left side of the Online tab. For the code coverage method, the command button is located on the toolbar of the tab.

    The Save Snapshot dialog opens.

  4. Type in the name for the snapshot and include an optional description. Click OK to confirm:

  5. Open the Snapshots tab. Note that this tab is available only after the first snapshot has been created.

    The recently created snapshot is listed with the Name which you assigned to it and the Timestamp. It is listed below the node of the name of the applied Profiler method (Sampling in the current example).

  6. Click the line of the snapshot.

    The snapshot opens on the right side of the tab. In this view, the same functionalities (for example, open POU, copy table, and export) are available as on the Online tab.

  7. On the left side of the tab, right-click the created snapshot.

    Here you see the commands for deleting and editing the snapshot.

  8. On the Profiler – Snapshots tab, double-click the line of the snapshot.

    The snapshot opens in a new tab named <name, time stamp> on the same level as the Profiler editor. The usual functionalities are available here as well. However, if a POU has been modified after the snapshot, then you cannot open it in the red/green view.
