| # Profile Analyzer |
|
|
| ## What Is This |
| The Profile Analyzer aggregates and visualises frame and marker data from a set of Unity Profiler frames to help you reason about their behaviour over a number of frames, complementing the single frame analysis already available in the Unity Profiler. |
|
|
|
|
| Features: |
| * Multi frame analysis of a single scan |
| * Each marker is shown with its median, min, max values over all frames, including histogram and box and whisker plots to view the distribution |
| * Various filtering options are available to limit the markers displayed by thread, call depth and name substrings. |
| * Data can be sorted for each of the displayed values. |
| * Comparison of two multi frame profile scans |
| * Each marker is shown with the difference in values between the scans, including with a visualisation to help quickly identify the key differences. |
| * Supports comparison of scans from two different Unity versions, or before and after an optimization is applied. |

| ## How To Run |
| Add the Profile Analyzer folder to your Unity project or install as a package. |
| The 'Profile Analyzer' tool is opened via the menu item below the 'Window/Analysis' Menu in the Unity menu bar (or just in the 'Window' menu prior to 2018.1). |
|
|
| ## Capturing Data |
| Use the standard Unity Profiler to record profiling data from your application. |
| In the Profile Analyzer pull the profiler data from the Unity Profiler. |
| The profile data will be analyzed and appear in the single view along with both sides of the Compare View. |
| This capture can be saved as a .pdata file for later comparision or sharing with others. |
|
|
| ## Comparing Two Data Sets |
| Pull data or load a previous .pdata file into the Left and Right slots to compare the two sets, comparison results will instantly appear. |
