     8 <h2>Activating traces</h2>
       
     9 <h5>Before you start</h5>
       
    10 <p>Trace activation is a way of generating specific trace data that
       
    11 is relevant for your components. This reduces the amount of traces listed
       
    12 on the TraceViewer user interface. For more information, see <a href="../concepts/decode_file.htm">
       
    13 Dictionary file and trace activation</a>.</p>
       
    14 <p>Before you can activate trace components and groups, open the Dictionary file 
       
    15 (.xml) that contains the necessary component and group information. 
       
    16 See <a href="decoding_traces.htm">Decoding binary traces with a Dictionary file</a>.</p>
       
    17 <p>To activate traces: </p>
       
    18 <ol>
       
    19 <li>From the TraceViewer menu, select <b>Trace Activation</b>. <p>
       
    20 The <b>Trace activation</b> dialog is displayed, showing the components and
       
    21 groups loaded from the Dictionary file. </p></li>
       
    22 <li><a name="act_conf"></a>(Optional) Activation configurations can be saved
       
    23 and loaded from an XML file.
       
    24 To load a saved activation configuration file:
       
    25 <ol>

    32 Then select a file, type the configuration name and click <b>OK</b>. One file
       
    33 can contain several configurations. </p></li>

    46 </b>  to send the activation message. </li>
       
    47 </ol>
