Data Selection and Analysis
The left pane of the Remote Kernel Tracker UI is the process pane. The process pane displays a list of interrupts, processes, and threads.
The center pane of the Remote Kernel Tracker UI is the system pane. The system pane displays events and the state of interrupts, processes, and threads in the system. The system pane automatically synchronizes with the process pane, displaying relevant data as you expand and collapse threads in a process within the process pane. System interrupts are displayed above the list of processes.
The right pane of the Remote Kernel Tracker UI is the legend pane. The legend pane displays the symbols used to represent each thread and process state and each event.
The ruler bar is above the system pane. The ruler bar shows how long the target device has been running.
The Remote Kernel Tracker tool has similar functionality to Microsoft® Word® 2002. The tool has a cursor. When you collect data or open a log file, the tool presents you with a view of the system at a specific point in time. The vertical red line in the system pane is the cursor, which represents your current position in the log file.
The position of the cursor is important because searches start at the cursor's current location. The default location of the cursor is the earliest or leftmost point in the log file. The cursor remains at its current location until you move it to a new location.
The following table shows a list of links to basic tasks that you can perform with Remote Kernel Tracker.
