Probekit Editor

The Probekit editor is a tool with a visual interface that lets you create and modify probes.

To open the Probekit editor, in the Package Explorer, double-click an existing *.probe file, or right-click a project source folder and select File > New > Other... > Profiling and Logging > Probekit Source File.

The Probekit editor contains two panes:
  • A tree pane that shows probe objects in a heirarchy that you can expand and collapse. Right-click objects in the tree area to add and work with probe objects using the pop-up menu.
  • An editing pane that lets you enter or edit property values for the object that is currently selected in the tree.
The following icons and commands appear in the Probekit editor tree area pop-up menu:
