  • You can select if component and group names are shown before the trace text, if those are available.
  • You can also view the class and function name before the trace text, if those are available.
  • It's possible to select if changed Dictionaries are automatically reloaded.
  • You can select if you want BTrace variables to be shown after the trace text in OST traces. These contain possible CPU ID and Thread ID.
Timestamp accuracy

Displaying undecoded traces

You can choose how undecoded traces are shown in the TraceViewer view. Choices are:

  • “BINARY TRACE” text: displays a text indicating that the trace is binary and the decode file may not be loaded.
  • HEX: traces received are shown as a hexadecimal string. Each byte is converted into a hex string and bytes are separated by spaces.
  • Identification numbers and data: TraceViewer will display component, group and trace ID of the received trace. Also the data contained in the trace is displayed as a hex string.
