TIP
The Agents and Daemons views are useful because they collect default plists for each system item in a single, eas-
ily accessible location. To view the defaults, select a daemon or agent from the list and click the eye icon at the
bottom right of the dialog box. You see a text XML dump of the plist, with the keys and values in the dictionary. To
edit the plist, double-click it. Xcode opens a new plist editor window. For more about editing plists, see Appendix
B.
The inspection range
Use the three inspection range buttons to set the start and end time of the display. To set the start time, drag the
position cursor in the time line (described later) to your chosen start point and click the leftmost range button.
To set the end time, repeat for the rightmost button. To clear the range, click the middle button.
The inspection range doesn't affect the time line. It doesn't zoom to fill the screen, and it doesn't modify the po-
sition cursor. However, it sometimes affects the statistics that are chosen and displayed elsewhere in Instru-
ments.
The time/run control
This shows the elapsed time in a recording. You can use the arrows under the time display to select different
runs. The clock/run icon to the right of the time digits toggles the display between the current recording posi-
tion and the current cursor time.
