Hi!
Power profiler (v3.4.2 64bit version or 32 bit version) has had this problem at least 1 year as we remember, and it's still not solved or optimized.
Problem description:
Power profiler is recording at for example in our case, 10000 samples per second.
We swap the window in the back, and continue doing other things for minute, 10 min, or hour, or hours.
(Power profiler memory buffer allocated is 999MB btw).
After a few hours, we swap the power profiler window in front, visible, and we see the recording is still ongoing, but the graph isn't redrawn. The GUI is "hung" and takes "forever" i.e. several minutes before it redraws and becomes "live" again, could be several minutes.
What we think should happen when the power profiler window is swapped to front by user:
- immediate redraw in <1 sec or faster, like a game would, full screen graphics, real time update
- Think of this:
- Program knows how long it has been recording, so it knows where in the recording buffer it is.
- It knows the screen width and how many lines or pixels fit in width
- So it can easily calculate how many recorded samples to average for each screen position.
- Then redraw the screen width lines, or if zoomed in
It's annoying like it behaves now, super sluggish like it is now. Slows down development when we are doing lots of tests and measurements of low power debugging.
Can you fix this very soon so we can have a fluent power profiler software?
We could do an internal test for you as an unreleased version, about speed updates of the GUI.
Best regards,
Johan & colleagues
