Starting Your Application

1)      Switch to Frame Analysis Mode either by clicking the Frame Analysis button  in the toolbar, or by selecting ‘Frame Analysis’ -> ‘Switch to Frame Analysis Mode’ from the menu bar.

2)      Begin a frame capture session either by:

a.       Clicking the Play button  in the toolbar, or

b.      Selecting ‘Frame Analysis’ -> ‘Start Frame Analysis’ from the menu bar, or

c.       Pressing F5.

3)      At this point, your application will launch and a selection box will appear with a list of all the API contexts found so far.

The above image shows the connection dialog with auto-connect disabled. Auto connect will be enabled by default.

Once a connection is established to a DX12 application, focus will switch from the launched program to CodeXL, and you will see a central preview image of the frames being rendered.
