2.14.3 Measuring execution time in a section

By setting timer measurement events (timer start event and timer end event) it is possible to measure a program's execution time in any section in its execution process.

To use this function, follow the procedure described below.

2.14.3.1 Setting the timer start event and timer end event

2.14.3.2 Execute the program

2.14.3.3 Editing a timer measurement event [E1] [E20]

2.14.3.4 Editing timer start and timer end events

2.14.3.5 Deleting a timer start event or timer end event

Caution 1.

Also see "2.17.7 Points to note regarding event setting" for details on timer measurement event settings, including the allowable number of valid events.

Caution 2.

[E1(Serial)/E20(Serial) [RX200 Series]]
The timestamp information on the Trace panel is realized using the timer measurement counter. Therefore, if a timer measurement event is set on the Events panel, expected timestamp information is not displayed.

Caution 3.

[E1] [E20]
When a timer start or end event is added or deleted or a timer measurement event is edited, the result of the next measurement will not be accumulated.
[Simulator]
When a timer start or end event is added, deleted, or edited, the result of the next measurement will not be accumulated.
