System Analyzer Tutorial 2: Graphing Events

(for UIA_1_00_01_17 and earlier releases)

Under construction...

This tutorial demonstrates the steps needed to capture and graph data from a running application. It also demonstrates how to stream events from a running target to System Analyzer using the CCS Debug Server's JTAG Run-mode datastreams.

NOTE: To run the tutorial project, you will need a C6000 target device and a JTAG emulator. If you're not able to run the tutorial project, you can unzip and load the attached .csv event file into System Analyzer to view 'pre-recorded' events.

The code for this tutorial ships with the UIA target content package. Code Composer Studio's New Project Wizard can be used to automatically create a project that includes the tutorial code.

The mcsaTutorial2.gel GEL file that is installed with the Tutorial2 project code provides access to two "GEL sliders" - graphical controls that control the value of two target-side data values named "slider1Value" and "slider2Value". When you change a slider position (by left-clicking on the slider bar, dragging it upward or downward and releasing it), the value of the slider at the time it is released is written into the associated target-side data location.

Using the UIAEvt_intWithKey event to log values over time

The target program is a simple loop that tests whether either slider1Value or slider2Value has changed and logs a UIAEvt_intWithKey event to record the time and new value of the variable.
