Using it is simple. Run the Profiler version of POSE, from the 'profiling' menu
you have start stop and dump. You can also use the HostControl API to control
when it starts and stops... This is all in the documentation as the previous
message stated. But are you on a MAC or PC? The output file come in both a
Metrowerks Profiler file which I believe is only readable on a MAC, as well as a
tab deliminated text file that can be opened with something like MS Excel.
However, if at all possible, I would reccomend going the MAC route. It is much
easier to understand. Also, remember that POSE is emulating a real device and
thus the Profiler is accurate but not perfect. It is not measuring time but
rather estimated cycles to perform certain activities. The number of cycles
required is taken from the Motorolla spec and thus the accuracy is dependent on
the spec being correct. Further, diferent devices have different wait states,
such that a real time measurement might be different for the different devices (
I think POSE is set to that of a 5, but it is open source and you can change it
:) So use Profiler and then always retest with a real device if possible.
