Figure 4-23: Status message in the status bar
The messages in the status bar inform you, for instance, about whether
the performance monitor is enabled and ready to measure the work-
load.
4.6.4 The Drop Table
As soon as drops occur during your real-time operation, entries will ap-
pear in the drop table, one for each drop that could be detected.
Figure 4-24: Drop table of performance monitor
The entries provide information, for example, about the date and time
when the drop occurred or, if detected as well, about the file that was
the cause for this drop.
You can retrieve further information about the location where the drop
occurred by double-clicking an entry in the drop table. Then the time-
line cursor will jump to the approximate location where the drop hap-
pened and a timeline marker will be placed at this position in the
timeline.
If the drop table is unavailable (dimmed), the performance
monitor is disabled. To use it you have to enable it first. This can
be done with the Configuration Tool (see “CLIPSTER Configu-
rations” user guide).
Drops are reported by the real-time core of the DVS software.
In some cases it may not be able to provide information about
the file name and/or path.
