2.14.2 Measuring execution time from start to stop

The debug tool has a pre installed function to measure a program's execution time from start to stop (Run-Break time).

Therefore, when a program starts running, its execution time is automatically measured.

The measurement result can be confirmed by one of the following methods.

 

2.14.2.1 Checking the status bar for confirmation

2.14.2.2 Checking the Events panel for confirmation

Caution 1.

The measurement result of the Run-Break timer event includes the time between the start of the measurement and the program execution as well as the time between the program break and the measurement break. Note that this result is used only for a reference purpose as it contains clock error of the measurement clock source.

Caution 2.

The execution time displayed in the Status bar and the Events panel is the time measured while the program is being executed. The execution time cannot be measured when Step In, Step Over or Return Out is performed.
[E1] [E20]
Values smaller than 100 μs are discarded.

Caution 3.

The EZ Emulator does not support the Run-Break timer function.

Remark

This function is actuated by a Run-Break timer event, which is one of the built-in events set in the debug tool by default.
The Run-Break timer event is always Enabled (settings not changeable).
