In order to compare, you must specify two profile-files(*.xml). Hitting button Load data loads the data and searches for elements. After loading the buttons Set filter and compare are enabled. Default filter setting is "no filter". Click button Compare to compare the profile files. Depending on the radio-buttons "Show all elements" or "Show only differences" the result of the comparison is shown in report. Differences are colored.

Search for parameters of profile files
To search for a string enter the search string in field "Search string" and click Search. The search looks only for values on the "Tag" column. The filed "Hits" shows how often the search-string was found. If more than 1 hit is found, the buttons Show first, Show next and Show last are enabled. Partly qualified strings. For example, if you are looking for a string "Dist" you would enter "Dist*", and click Search. The Result would be Dist0, Dist1...., DistanceMode, Distance and so on.
