ENERGYTRACE: CCS Energy Trace Automatically Closing

Part Number: ENERGYTRACE

Hello!

I am trying to utilize Energy Trace on CCS 10 and 11 with a MSP-432P410R and am experiencing issues with the Energy Trace window. Whenever I try to open the window outside of debugging, it automatically closes  right after opening. I tried to work around this by enabling "auto launch." However, I am trying to get a .csv copy of the data collection and the window automatically closes after debugging and I am unable to save the data. Does anyone have a solution, or any forum redirects for this? 

Thank you.

  • Hello,

    EnergyTrace is only available in the Debug view of CCS. You can always switch to that view, even w/o debugging with the icons on the top right of the CCS Window. Alternatively, you can also just pause the debug session to collect data.

    For power numbers closer to application use cases, it is recommended to run the debugger in "Free Run" mode. 

  • Hi Jace, thank you for promptly responding to my initial reply and am sorry for the delay in responding/ thanking you for the help. Earlier when I would pause within debug mode it would display an error, however i had tried again and i was able to export the data. (not sure what was causing the initial error) However, the error was not due to being in CCS debug view. Even when I click debug view, and try to open EnergyTrace it still closes automatically. Using a workaround I was able to collect the data but am not sure why this issue is still occurring. Issue semi resolved. Thanks!
