As mentioned earlier in this application note, Audio Weaver also features Manual Profiling, which collects the same exact profiling information as the real-time block by block profiling but allows a user to select a specific number of audio frames to process. This may be useful for .awd layouts that cannot be run in real-time or for obtaining profiling information on targets that haven’t been configured for real-time audio yetin a different manner. Rather than profiling the runtime input audio stream, during manual profiling, real-time processing is halted on the target and all layouts present in the AWD/AWJ signal flow are processed one at a time through tuning commands (pump_layout), for the user specified amount of audio frames. The yielded profiling results may be preferred in some cases, as this decouples discrete layout processing (and thus layout thread priority) from real-time audio device interrupts. This allows for accurate profiling even in cases when the target is not configured for real-time audio, or if a layout is unable to finish executing in the allotted clock cycles (calculated total ticks per block process available).
To Manual Profile an .awd layout, navigate to ‘Tools > Profile Running Layout > Manual Profile Layout’ in the Audio Weaver Designer toolbar while in Tuning Mode:
