HW Counter Source Editor Dialog

This dialog can be used to create new or customise existing counter sources. It can be accessed by either selecting New… or Modify Selected… in the Create New Counters window. If the hardware has support for specifying batch ranges (such as PowerVR Series6XT) a batch range can be specified. Counters will only increment while batches (draw calls) in the minimum..maximum range are being processed. Check the hardware counter documentation to see which sources exist and which support the batch range control.

Note

The counters listed in the Global tab of the Create New Counters dialog cannot be modified.

The options for the dialog above are explained in the following table:

Option	Effect
Name	Change the name of the hardware source.
Auto-name	The default name for the hardware counter source,
Block	The hardware counter block to use.
Group	Counters within blocks are arranged into groups.
Batch range: Minimum	Start batch of specified range.
Batch range: Maximum	End batch of specified range.
Mode	Select whether the chosen bits are read as a unary number (0x00f0 is 4) or a binary number (0x00f0 is 15 - there is an implied right bit shift to remove ignored bits).
Bit table	After choosing a block and a group, select the actual counter source(s) to count.
