DATAFLOW++

DATAFLOW++ provides a development environment for recording and analysing data flow information by code instrumentation.

It includes an instrumentation-library and utilities for display of instrumentation data and automated removal of instrumentation code.

The library routines can be linked to every source code and compiler output which provides a C interface and TCP/IP capabilities. Instrumentation and tracking of the data flow is supported during simulation and execution on the target system.

The tools

mscope generates output in ITU-MSC standard file format (MSC = Message Sequence Charts) which allows to format and filter the displayed information and to add more details than usually supported, assisting in better understanding of the data flow via the communication channels.

mxcope displays the events of data flow in oscillograph-type timing diagrams. The events can be filtered according to the type of information, source and destination and the location where the event occurred (e.g. on a bus). Zooming and file splitting are supported. When clicking on a single event the associated information is additionally displayed on the screen.
