The views
Each view is a panel in the dock, opened from its card in the top bar. All of them read the recording that is loaded (or streaming); none of them invents data. Where a view needs something extra, its page says so at the top.
| VIEW | ONE LINE | NEEDS |
|---|---|---|
| Timeline | Task, interrupt and user-event lanes over time; the anchor every other view jumps to | a recording |
| Event Table | Every decoded event, searchable, following the cursor | a recording |
| Trace | Your firmware's trace channels as charts, live while recording | a recording or a live capture |
| CPU | Busy gauge, per-task statistics table, scoped to the whole trace or a selection | a recording |
| Analyzer | Findings: priority inversions, jitter outliers, failed operations, domain verdicts | a recording |
| Details | The system at a glance, plus everything about one selected task slice | a recording |
| Overview | The report: file, trace, system and task summary, copy as Markdown | a recording |
| Timers | Kernel timers and deferred work as arm-to-outcome cycles, with lateness | a recording with timer events |
| Runtime Map | Every task and kernel object as a live map of recorded traffic, with heat, filters and replay | a recording with kernel-object events |
| Comms | Message paths between tasks: queues, semaphores, mutexes, notifications | a recording with kernel-object events |
| Fingerprint | Golden-run baselines: save the recording's metrics, gate later runs, pins and envelopes | a recording |
| Symbols | Browse the ELF and poll variables over the debug port, no instrumentation | an ELF |
| Memory | Flash and RAM usage of the build, section by section | an ELF |
| Call Graph | Who calls whom, decoded from the image's code; walk from any root to a depth | an ELF |
| Trace Tune | Node graph that derives new traces from existing ones (filters, PID, math) | traces |
| Trace Domains | Sidebar section and Domain Editor for .vadomain descriptors | optional |
Views listed in the top bar that are not covered here yet (Registers, On-chip Trace) open to a short message saying what they will need. They are on the way; this guide grows with them.
Reading the tables
Tables share one behaviour: click a column header to sort by it, click again to flip the direction. Columns flex to fill the panel and never shrink below their design width; below that the table scrolls sideways (there is a scrollbar under it). Numbers are right-aligned and monospaced.
Chips and pills
Small rectangular chips appear in toolbars and headers. A chip with a highlighted border is active; clicking it toggles a filter, a scope or a view mode, and the panel's status strip says what is in effect.
