Profiling verstand models to determine weakest link

[SamShearman]

Hello,

We are running into a situation where adding a model that includes the Ethernet IP driver appears to slow down the entire system. Is there a tool (s) that would allow us to determine the point of the slowdown.

Thank you,

What version of VeriStand are you using? In VeriStand 2012 a new channel appears in the Execution section for a model called Time Step Duration. That returns the elapsed time in microseconds for each model timestep. You can inspect the time step durations for all your models to find out which one is taking too long. If the model only intermittently takes too long, then plotting the values on a graph or logging them might be easier.

Thanks Jarrod, we will give this a try.
