{\v0\par\tx0}\pard\tx0\plain \qj\tx0 \f2\fs20 {\fs24 
{\v0\par\tx0}}\pard\tx0 \qj {\fs24 APIMON is a Application Monitor.  It monitors a running application for all Application Programming Interface (}{\b\i\fs24 API}{\fs24 
) calls.  APIMON counts and times all API calls.  It will also, optionally, monitor page faults caused by the monitored application and report them by API call.
{\v0\par\tx0}}\pard\tx0 \qj\tx0 {\fs24 
{\v0\par\tx0}}\pard\tx0 \qj {\fs24 APIMON is used as a performance monitor to help tune your application.  The data can be used to determine where the hot spots are in your application by examinin
g the APIs with the largest times and/or counts.  You can also look at which APIs are used by the application, taking a special look at calls that cause ring transitions to kernel mode or client/server transitions.  Large numbers of these calls can be cul
prits for the cause of a slow application.
{\v0\par\tx0}}\pard\tx0 \qj\tx0 {\fs24 
{\v0\par\tx0}}\pard\tx0 \qj {\fs24 APIMON can also generate 2 types of reports: a report containing all API calls showing their counts and times, and a report showing a trace of all APIs as they occurred in time.

N is launched like any other application, either from a command shell, program manager, or the explorer.  After APIMON starts you must open a program for monitoring. You can optionally specify the program name as an argument to APIMON.
{\v0\par\tx0}}\pard\tx0 \qj {\fs24 
{\v0\par\tx0}}\pard\tx0 \qj\tx0 {\fs24 After a program is opened you can start the program by }{\i\fs24 pushing}{\fs24  the }{\i\fs24 go traffic light}{\fs24  or selecting the }{\i\fs24 Start Monitor}{\fs24  menu item under the }{\i\fs24 Tools}{\fs24 
 menu.  When the application starts two windows appear.  The first window is the API counter and time and the second is the current DLL list window.
