Overview

The profiler function gathers and visualizes information about the sounds played at run-time as logs.
To connect with the runtime, use the connection mechanism offered by the in-game preview.

How to use it

1．Connecting with Previewer (Game Application)

The profiler function uses the in-game preview connection mechanism to connect to the game application using the previewer or the monitoring library of the specified target platform.
For details about how to access to the "In-Game" feature on each target platform, refer to that target's ADX SDK.
As mentioned in Real-time Authoring Using In-Game Preview , if you only need to use the profiler, you don't need to prepare the game data for in-game preview.

2. Displaying the profiler window

From the menu bar of CRI Atom Craft, select [View] -> [Profiler...].

3. Starting / stopping logs acquisition

You can start / stop the acquisition of logs from the menu bar or the tool bar.
The acquired logs are automatically saved in a file.
When the total number of logs reaches a given value, it is divided into pages.
For details, see Page .

4. Reading the recorded logs

You can read and display the logs that were recorded by the profiler from the menu bar or the tool bar.

Recording settings
