<h2>TraceBuilder basic steps</h2>
<p>Open the TraceBuilder tool in either of the following ways: </p>
<ul>
<li>From the <b>Carbide > TraceBuilder</b> menu. </li>
<li>From the <b>Window > Show view > Other > Carbide extensions</b> menu.</li>
</ul>
<p>Using Open System Traces (OST) involves the following steps: </p>
<ol>
<li>Open or create a Carbide.c++ project.</li>
<li><a href="../tasks/addingtraces.htm">Add traces to the source code</a>
using the TraceBuilder menu.</li>
<li>After a trace has been added, you can:
<ul>
<li><a href="../tasks/addingparameters.htm">add parameters to existing traces</a></li>
<li><a href="../tasks/enumerations.htm">add enumerations</a></li>
<li><a href="../tasks/instrumenting.htm">instrument traces in the source code</a></li>
</ul>
</li>
<li><a href="../tasks/setprojectandcompile.htm">Set your project's include paths
and compile</a> your component with OST traces. </li>
</ol>
<p><b>Note:</b> If you have existing <code>Printf</code> traces, <a href="../tasks/converting.htm">
convert them to OST traces</a> in TraceBuilder. </p>
