App/Hardware Eases Software Development

Offered as the first tool that allows users to visually compare software execution across multiple processors running at full speed, the SystemTrace logic analyzer manufactured by ITCN combines hardware and software to debug, optimize and integrate software applications. Designed specifically for VME- or Raceway-based applications, the tool is said to provide code performance information on multi-processor systems with minimal intrusion and µs-level synchronized-timing information.Users can assess performance and dynamic code behavior, visualize execution, and analyze crashes. The user interface runs on either Windows NT or Sun OS, and the system supports all operating systems and processor types.SystemTrace includes a processor board with the control program, host utilities, and target interface software pre-loaded. SystemTrace Plus includes an event-viewer program (TimeScan) for the host workstation.
