CCS/MSP430FR5869: Can Energy Trace show States when run stand-alone?

Part Number: MSP430FR5869
Other Parts Discussed in Thread: ENERGYTRACE

Tool/software: Code Composer Studio

Did a fresh install of CCS 8.0.0.00016 to see what Energy Trace can do in stand-alone mode.

Running the msp430fr59xx_euscia0_uart_01.c example project.

In Debug mode Energy Trace displays Power, Energy, and States graphs.

With a Release build   when Energy Trace is launched from the Edit perspective, it only displays Power and Energy.

Is this expected behavior?

    Hi Bill,
    I believe the "stand-alone" mode just supports EnergyTrace, not EnergyTrace++ (which supports the States). Are you saying you were getting state data and are able to open the State graph when running stand-alone ET with the application built for Debug configuration, but not for Release configuration?

    Thanks

    Hello ki,

    By Debug mode I meant running CCS Debug with the application built for debug configuration, and clicking on the ET icon at the top.
    I tested ET in stand-alone mode with the application built for release configuration and clicking the ET icon while in CCS Edit.

    I hadn't found the restriction that ET in stand-alone mode doesn't support EnergyTrace++ .
    Thanks for answering my question.

    Regards,
    Bill
