Analyzer

Analyzer is a powerful tool, which enables you to record the program execution trace, data trace or other trace messages and then analyze these recordings to produce coverage or timing measurements. Analyzer window can show several aspects of the recording in different views, which can be toggled from the main toolbar.

It is open via View / Analyzer.

Toolbar

The main toolbar provides access to Analyzer configuration and to toggle display of specialized views.
