Profiling Routine View

The Routine view displays statistics for a routine, its calling
routines, and its called routines. It uses multiple DataWindow objects
to display information for a routine:

Called routines

The top DataWindow lists functions and events called by the
current routine.
Current routine

The middle DataWindow and the DataWindow on the right
highlight the current routine and show detailed statistics.
Calling routines

The bottom DataWindow lists functions and events that call
the routine displayed in the middle DataWindow.

The Routine view has two tabs:

Detail

Shows statistics only
Source

Shows statistics and source code for those routines that
originated in PowerScript source

The Routine view uses the call graph model to show the call
chain and cumulative statistics for routines and called
routines.

You can specify the current routine by clicking in the various
DataWindows.

To do this	Click here
Establish a new current routine in the current routine DataWindow	On the routine. The profiling tool updates the top and bottom DataWindows with information on called and calling routines.
Select a calling routine as the new routine	On the routine in the top DataWindow. The profiling tool makes it the current routine in the middle DataWindow.
Select a called routine as the new routine	On the routine in the bottom DataWindow. The profiling tool makes it the current routine in the middle DataWindow.

You can sort items by clicking the column headings.

Routine view metrics

The Routine view displays nine metrics. The profiling tool
accesses these metrics from instances of the ProfileCall and
ProfileRoutine objects. The time scale you specified in the
Preferences dialog box determines how times are displayed.

Metric	What it means
Hits (Called on Detail tab)	The number of times a routine executed in a particular context.
Self	The time spent in the routine or line itself. If the routine or line was executed more than once, this is the total time spent in the routine or line itself; it does not include time spent in routines called by this routine.
%Self	Self as a percentage of the total time the calling routine was active.
Self Min	The shortest time spent in the routine or line itself. If the routine or line was executed only once, this is the same as AbsoluteSelfTime.
Self Max	The longest time spent in the routine or line itself. If the routine or line was executed only once, this is the same as AbsoluteSelfTime.
Self+Called	The time spent in the routine or line and in routines or lines called from the routine or line. If the routine or line was executed more than once, this is the total time spent in the routine or line and in called routines or lines.
%Self+Called	Self+Called as a percentage of the total time that tracing was enabled.
Self+Called Min	The shortest time spent in the routine or line and in called routines or lines. If the routine or line was executed only once, this is the same as AbsoluteTotalTime.
Self+Called Max	The longest time spent in the routine or line and in called routines or lines. If the routine or line was executed only once, this is the same as AbsoluteTotalTime.
