Hi,  
  
I am using PVRTune for android. I can see the data from SGXSPerfServer in PVRTune graphic window, I want to record these data and show them with PVRTune later or process them with other tool like excel on my host. But I do not find any button to get this. Is there any way I can record all the data showed in graphic window of PVRTune?  
  
Thank you!  
  
  
  
Thanks  
  
Li Wang

Hi,  
  
  
  
You can write the captured data to a PVRTUNE file using the “File–\>Save…” option of PVRTuneDeveloperGUI’s toolbar, or pressing ‘Ctrl+S’ on your keyboard.  
  
  
  
PVRTUNE files are binary. We do not expose the details of this format. If you want to write custom profiling tools, I would recommend using our [PVRScope library](https://www.imgtec.com/powervr/insider/pvrscope.asp) to retrieve hardware counters within your own application.  
  
  
  
Regards,  
  
Joe
