RTX64 CPU Usage

The RTX64 CPU Usage utility displays CPU usage information for all RTSS cores on the system. By default, the utility generates data every 3 seconds (frequency) for 30 seconds (duration). You can change the frequency and duration values for the utility using the parameters described below.

A custom event is created whenever this utility is run. You will see these events in your Monitor output if you collect custom monitor events. Events happen at the frequency of data generation for the duration the utility is run.

NOTE: Running the RTX64 CPU Usage utility may cause latencies since it requires the collection of internal information from the RTSS scheduler.

Running the Utility

You can run the RTX64 CPU Usage utility from the Start menu, or through RtssRun.

Running the utility from the Start menu

Click Start > All Programs > IntervalZero > RTX64 3.7 > RTX64 CPU Usage.

This launches RTX64CPUUsage.rtss in a Windows command prompt. Data output appears in the RTX64 Server console window. Note that only one instance of this application can be run at a time.

NOTE: Launching the RTX64 CPU Usage tool from the Start Menu starts the RTX64 Subsystem automatically.
