The tab windows

 

The main display of Performance Validator consists of tabbed windows. Not all the tabs may be visible - see the Data Views menu to show any hidden tabs.

 

Each tab allows the performance data collected to be viewed, inspected and queried in different and complimentary ways.

 

Typical usage might be to use the Statistics, Call Tree or Call Graph tabs to monitor the most time consuming or slowest functions in the target program, and then use another view to gain insights at a different granularity or about related functions.

Icons
