<h2>Configuring triggers</h2>

<p>You can create start, stop, and activation triggers to TraceViewer. </p>
<ul>
  <li>A start trigger means that receiving traces starts only when the start
    trigger is met. </li>
  <li>A stop trigger means that the view will be paused when the stop trigger
    is met. </li>
  <li>An activation trigger means that when trace with the given trigger text
    is received, a given activation configuration is loaded from the defined
    activation configuration file, and sent to the device.</li>
</ul>

<p>To configure the triggers: </p>
<ol>
  <li>Open the TraceViewer menu by clicking <img
    src="images/icon_menu_open.png">, and select <b>Triggers</b>. 
    <p>The <b>Trigger Rules </b> dialog is displayed. </p>
  </li>
  <li>To manage the rules, do any of the following: 
    <ul>
      <li>To create a new start or stop rule, click <b>Add</b>. The <b>Trigger
        Rule Definition</b> dialog is opened. </li>
      <li>To edit an existing start or stop rule, select it and click
        <b>Edit</b>. The <b>Trigger Rule Definition</b> dialog is opened. </li>
      <li>To delete a rule, select it and click <b>Remove</b>.</li>
      <li>To clear the whole tree, click <b>Clear</b>. </li>
      <li>To create groups for rules, click <b>Group</b>. </li>
    </ul>
    <p>See the following figure for an example: </p>
    <p></p>
    <p><img src="images/triggerDialog.png" alt="Trigger dialog"></p>
  </li>
  <li>In the <b>Trigger Rule Definition</b> dialog, enter a name for the
    trigger and the text to be matched with each trace. </li>
  <li>From the <strong>Type</strong> listbox, select the trigger type: <b>Start
    trigger</b>, <b>Stop trigger</b>, or <strong>Activation trigger</strong>.
    See following example: 
    <p><img src="images\sample_start_trigger.png"></p>
    <p>If you selected Activation trigger, continue to step 5, otherwise skip
    to <a name="step" id="step" href="#Click">step 8</a>.</p>
  </li>
  <li>Click the <img alt="nn" src="images/browse_button.png" width="28"
    height="23"> button next to the <strong>Conf</strong> field to select the
    configuration file to be used for the Activation trigger. The Load

    <p><img src="images/LoadConfiguration_dialog.png"></p>
  </li>
  <li>Browse to the desired activation file and select the configuration from
    the <strong>Load configuration</strong> listbox.
