Using selective instrumentation

The Advanced Instrumentation Settings window lets you select the specific model elements and element types to be instrumented for animation or tracing in the given configuration. Using this functionality, you can use partial animation or tracing without changing the properties of the specific model elements.

About this task

When you click the Advanced button in the Instrumentation group, the Advanced Instrumentation Settings window opens.

Using this window, you can easily control whether instrumentation is available for model elements, operations, and classes and packages for each configuration. The base model (stored in the development tree) could be non-instrumented: to validate parts of the model, you would simply change the animation settings in this window to enable or disable instrumentation.

The window contains the following fields:

The following table shows how the instrumentation scope and the Animate property determine whether an element is instrumented.
