Instruments (formerly Xray) is an application performance analyzer and visualizer, integrated in Xcode 3.0 and later versions of Xcode. It is a developer tool included in Apple Mac OS X v10.5 and later versions of Mac OS X, built on top of the DTrace tracing framework from OpenSolaris and ported to Mac OS X.
Instruments shows a time line displaying any event occurring in the application, such as CPU activity variation, memory allocation, and network and file activity, together with graphs and statistics. Group of events are monitored via customizable "instruments", which have the ability to record user generated events and replay (emulate) them exactly as many times as needed, so a developer can see the effect of code changes without actually doing the repetitive work. The Instrument Builder feature allows the creation of custom analysis instruments.

- User events, such as keyboard keys pressed and mouse moves and clicks with exact time.
- CPU activity of processes and threads.
- Memory allocation and release, garbage collection and memory leaks.

INSTRUMENTS (always spelled with all capital letters by the band) is a three-piece music recording ensemble based in Halifax, NS, Canada.
J. LaPointe, Jon Hutt, and Daniel MacDonald began playing together in Truro, NS, Canada as early as 1991, formally establishing themselves as The Motes (along with Craig Thibault) in 1994. The foursome released six albums before disbanding in 1998. LaPointe spent 1998 - 2001 playing in North of America, touring extensively and releasing four albums, while Hutt spent that time developing his Recyclone project, releasing three albums and collaborating with Sixtoo, Graematter (Buck 65), and LaPointe once again on the "Numbers" full-length. LaPointe, Hutt, and MacDonald reconvened as Instruments in 2001. They have since released three full length albums, two 12” EPs, multiple digital downloads, and collaborated with Triune Gods, American rapper Bleubird, and producer Skyrider on releases on Endemik Music and the Japanese label Granma Music. The band does make rare live appearances including a 2012 performance sharing the stage with Yamantaka // Sonic Titan at the Halifax Pop Explosion, and as recent as January 2014 with Wintersleep.
