Why my CPU usage meter is different from PT manual?

[Rockman413]

Hi I looked at the reference manual of PT10 HD that in the system usage, it lists all the cores of CPU, but on my PT10 HD that it only has CPU(native) , just this one.

I'm on 10.3.9 HD, anyone has an idea of how to showing all cores?

Does this happen even if you click the little "arrow" in the top left corner?

Well there's not such thing. But I can see all the cores in PT 11hd.

But what is CPU (Native) and CPU (Clip)? Mine is HD native. I always see CPU (clip) is 0%

I'm currently on 10.3.9 HD as well. As far as I'm aware the CPU core/thread monitoring was introduced in PT11. There is an arrow, as Christopher mentioned, to display additional information when you're using Pro Tools 10 HD with Avid hardware. However, the information displayed in that case is for DSP caching.

It's possible that you may have mistaken the PT11 manual for PT10's since you apparently have both versions installed. My PT10 manual shows no images, depictions or mention of any other "System Usage Meter" options aside from the consolidated CPU monitor. If you need to analyze your CPU core usage then you can temporarily do so through the Windows Task Manager.

Just for the sake of curiosity, I'd be more than interested to see a screenshot of the "System Usage Meter" shown in your copy of the PT10 User Manual because one of our manuals is apparently incorrect!
