“The ability to send and show data in SystemView had been on my SEGGER wishlist”, says Erich Styger, Lecturer, Professor & Researcher. “I have found it very helpful for use with multiple sensor values. Uses include monitoring the use of dynamic memory over time, the power profile of executing code, and the inputs and outputs of control algorithms. Thank you SEGGER!” 

 “SystemView is a unique tool for understanding exactly what is happening in an embedded system, tracing interrupts, task switches, API calls and other user events with cycle accuracy, typically better than 5 ns,” says Johannes Lask, Product Manager of SystemView at SEGGER. “SystemView is free for evaluation and non-commercial use under  SEGGER's Friendly License. No additional hardware is required. Just download and give it a try!”

As an example, a system which monitors its power consumption can record the measured samples with SystemView. With the visualization in the DataPlot window and the instant synchronization with runtime information, developers can easily identify spikes in current and increases in power usage, synchronized to the task or event that triggered it.

About SystemView

SystemView is a real-time recording and visualization tool for embedded systems. It reveals the true runtime behavior of an application, going far deeper than the system insights provided by debuggers. This is particularly effective when developing and working with complex embedded systems comprised of multiple threads and interrupts. SystemView can ensure a system performs as designed, track down inefficiencies, and find unintended interactions and resource conflicts.

SystemView's optimized target instrumentation enables recording data with cycle-accurate timestamps and supports sampling rates of 250 kHz or more in streaming setups using SEGGER’s J-Link and its Real-Time Transfer (RTT) feature. There is no limit for buffered setups. The number of sample sources for graphing is not limited and is entirely configured on the target. Data samples are – like all SystemView events – recorded, analyzed, and visualized while the target system is running, and can be saved for documentation and later analysis.

The DataPlot window provides a flexible user interface and configuration options to enable detailed analysis of data. Data can be sent in fixed point or floating-point formats. Multiple variables can be recorded, each easily identifiable by a descriptive name and shown in different colors. Graphs can be scaled and shifted for the best visualization of data with different ranges.
