Profile Editor Perspective

Choose Perspectives > Profile Editor to open the editor. If you created a debug profile using the Debug Wizard, the editor loads it automatically. You can import an existing profile; if you do not have an existing debug profile, you add Virtual I/O or Logic Analyzer cores and then configure them.
