Metrics Area

The Metrics area displays two important sensor performance metrics: CPU load and speed (current frame rate).

The CPU bar in the Metrics panel (at the top of the interface) displays how much of the CPU is being utilized. A warning symbol () will appear next to the CPU bar if the sensor drops data because the CPU is over-loaded.

CPU at 100%

The Speed bar displays the frame rate of the sensor. A warning symbol () will appear next to it if triggers (external input or encoder) are dropped because the external rate exceeds the maximum frame rate.

Open the log for details on the warning. For more information on logs, see Log.

When a sensor is accelerated a "rocket" icon appears in the metrics area.
