Introduction Panels Trace Panel

Trace Panel

Displays various information's like incoming MIDI/network message, internal messages or others important messages of Usine.

The trace panel will be displayed automatically when Usine sends warnings or error messages.
Inside a patch, you can use the trace function with the modules:

Settings

trace MIDI in

Traces MIDI messages received by external devices.

trace MIDI out

Traces MIDI output messages outgoing to external devices.

trace keyboard in

Traces all keyboard incoming messages, useful, for example, to know the numeric value of a key:

key:A - 65
key:Z - 90
key:arrow up - 238
key:arrow down - 240

trace gestures names

The gesture names in touch and multi-touch environment. See multi-touch for more infos.

trace OSC in messages

Traces OSC incoming messages.

trace OSC out messages

Traces OSC outgoing messages.

trace all UDP packets

Traces all incoming UDP messages.

trace all COMMANDS packets

Traces all incoming COMMANDS messages used in patch sharing context.

trace ping times

Traces the ping time of all connected computeurs (with Usine runing).

trace DMX out

Traces all DMX output frames.

trace DMX in

Traces all DMX input frames.

trace video FPS

Traces the current video engine frame rate in Frames per seconds.

trace remote info

Traces various informations about the remote connection. See remote-control.

trace send global-arrays

Traces informations about the global-arrays sent on the network.

trace receive global-arrays

Traces informations about the global-arrays received from the network.

clear trace

Clear the content of the trace panel.

God Mode

Note: Settings available in god mode. See setup-panel-tab-expert.

trace MIDI latency

Traces the real MIDI in latency, in other words, the time elapsed when the MIDI message arrives to the computer and the time it is handled by Usine.

trace messages capacity

Usine communicates between threads by using a sophisticated messaging manager. This option traces the capacity and amount of messages that are queued. Be aware to maintain the graphic queue length as short as possible to avoid graphic overloads.

trace set caption

The set caption of objects procedure takes a lot of CPU when done inside patches. This option helps you to minimize the CPU impact of caption modifications by displaying a messages in the trace panel.

trace unresolved buses

Traces the names of unavailable buses, for example if you use a get bus module with an invalid name.

trace internal clock

Traces the internal messages clock real interval. Gives an idea of the accuracy of your environment. Connected to the setup refresh speed.
