Hi Jorge,

glad to hear it worked out. Just FYI, I generally do not do analysis work on the test machines themselves. I typically don’t even generate the schedule visualizations on the test machine (though there’s nothing wrong with that, really). Instead, I prefer rsync all relevant files to some workstation and do the data processing there. For one, this clears up the test machine for further experiments while one is still analyzing earlier traces, which can be useful when you need to run many different task sets. 

Best,
Björn
