Managing threads

To open a context menu of thread management commands, right-click anywhere on a thread icon. This opens the context menu for thread management.

This table shows the options for managing threads:

Option Description
Control Opens the thread control context menu with a list of options. You can also select Full to open a dialog box of additional options.
Metrics Opens the Engine Monitor dialog box, where you can review performance statistics for the session, and view graphs that show the performance in specific areas over time.
Status Opens the Status Report dialog box.
SMAT Open Inbound and Open Outbound open a SMAT Database tab to the *_in.smatdb or *_out.smatdb file.

The file type opened depends on which SMAT driver is being used. The SMAT driver can be changed by selecting/clearing Save into Database on the SMAT tab of the Site Preferences dialog box.

If it is selected, then the SMAT database file opens if it has been configured; otherwise, the SMAT plain file is opened.

Schedule This is enabled when Advanced Scheduling is configured for the thread.

View opens the Schedule <thread> dialog box.

Run Now runs the schedule for threads with a timer. If a thread has advanced scheduling that is configured through the Network Monitor, then you can also use the hcicmd runnow_schedule command to run the scheduled task. For example, hcicmd -p <proc_name> -c “<conn_name> runnow_schedule”.

Notes Opens the Notes dialog box for that thread. This option is available only when there are notes, indicated by the icon on the thread.
Create View Opens the Create View dialog box, where you name a new view. Ctrl-click as many threads as are required for that view.
