What is the difference between StethoScope and IRIXview?
There are three “types” of visualization/analysis tools for REACT: a source-level debugger (Casevision/Workshop), a real-time data monitor (StethoScope), and a operating system visualization tool (IRIXview). A debugger can be thought of as similar to a voltmeter. It measures static values. It’s nearly useless for finding peak values, occasional “glitches”, or time-dependent quantities like durations of events or noise characteristics. StethoScope is like a digital oscilloscope; it displays all these with ease. IRIXview is like a logic analyzer. It doesn’t show analog values (program variables), but it excels at displaying events, such as task switches, semaphore activity, interrupts, etc. In particular, StethoScope is a window into your application. You can view any variable or memory location in your system. For example, you can see how much overshoot your controller has, measure how long it took a change to occur, analyze noise in a sensor, or see how long a data queue is getting. St
