     9 <h2>TraceViewer overview</h2>
       
    10 <p>TraceViewer is a tool for tracing a target device in the Carbide.c++ 
       
    11 Integrated Development Environment (IDE). The target device can be 
       
    12 connected to the PC through USB.</p>
       
    13 <p>TraceViewer is useful for developers or testers in obtaining and analyzing, for example,
       
    14 component-specific data during a test case. With this tool, you can manipulate
       
    15 and filter the received traces in various ways to pin-point the relevant information
       
    16 that affects your components. In addition, the tool enables you to define
       
    17 exactly what type of trace data you want to activate and receive.</p>
       
    18 <p>TraceViewer supports the Open System Trace (OST) trace format for data transfer. 
       
    19 The OST solution includes the following features: </p>
       
    20 <ul>
       
    21 	<li>Sending traces from device to tool</li>
       
    22 	<li>Activating traces from tool</li>
       
    23 	<li>Standardized AND custom trace formats</li>
       
    24 	<li>Decoding and analyzing of traces in tools</li>
       
    25 	<li>Recording traces in log files</li>
       
    26 </ul>
