Programmers can also use PLA to query performance data, create event tracing sessions, capture a computer's configuration, and trace the API calls in some of the Win32 system DLLs.

Developer audience

PLA is designed for C and C++ developers and those writing scripts.

Run-time requirements

PLA is available starting with Windows Vista.

For information about run-time requirements for a particular programming element, see the Requirements section of the reference page for that element.
