Using RTX64 Monitor (RTX64 4.3 and Later)

NOTE: This content applies to RTX64 Monitor in RTX64 4.3 and later versions. For information on RTX64 Monitor in RTX64 4.2 and earlier, see Using RTX64 Monitor (RTX64 4.2 and Earlier).

RTX64 Monitor is a utility that allows you to dynamically configure and control monitoring sessions. RTX64 Monitor consists of two pages:

On the Events and session triggers page, you can:

• Customize the list of events you want to collect
• Create, set, and delete triggers to start and/or stop monitoring sessions

On the Session options page, you can:

• Configure event collection
• Convert session binary files into text files that show the details of events in the order in which they occurred
• Delete a session file

NOTE: Monitoring causes as much as one microsecond of latency depending on the real time operation. It is recommended that you only enable and start monitoring during development and that you disable monitoring in production. The amount of latency depends on how many kinds of events are being monitored and how frequently those events occur in real-time applications. Monitoring fewer kinds of events reduces the impact of monitoring on latency.

NOTE: RTX64 collects additional monitoring session data to support collection of pre-start-trigger events.
