Before you can connect to the trace source and start receiving traces, the connection options must be defined in TraceViewer preferences. The connection method is USB. For more information on the options, see Connection settings.
In addition, you can specify various types of rules and filters to receive just the information you need for your specific components and groups, and the level of tracing that is relevant for your development team's purposes. For more information, see the overview in Basic steps.
You can pause receiving traces by clicking the Pause button:
Note: There are also situations where the view is automatically paused. These include, for example, triggering an action which will open a dialog. When the dialog is closed, the view is then released.
All the data received before clicking this button will be lost.
