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