The options are –

Profile code - Specifies which profiling mode is used for the Light Coverage profiler. The following options are available:
- in debuggee process (normal profiling) - (Default). If this option is selected, AQTime profiles modules when they are loaded by the process that corresponds to the profiled application.
  
  If this mode is used, the process that loads the profiled modules is known before the profiling begins.
- in any process - If this option is selected, AQTime changes the profiled modules so they automatically collect the profiling results and then extracts this information from each module after the profiling is over.
  
  Typically, this mode is used for profiling hooks as it is not known beforehand which process exactly will load the hook after you start the profiling.
  
  This profiling mode is applied only to unmanaged code. If you try to use it for profiling managed code (.NET an so on), the profiling results will be empty.
For more information on the profiling modes available to the Light Coverage profiler, see Profiling Modes.

The Light Coverage profiler also includes a number of options that affect the profiler result display. They are located on the Profiler toolbar (by default, it is displayed at the top of the Report panel)(by default, it is displayed at the top of the Report panel).
