5.4 Viewing Thread Execution with the Execution Graph
While you could test the program by putting a Probe Point within the
processing function and view graphs of input and output data (as you did in
the previous chapter), you have already tested the signal processing
algorithm. At this stage of development, your focus is on making sure the
threads can meet their real-time deadlines.
