Trace activation is a way of generating specific trace data that
+is relevant for your components. This reduces the amount of traces listed
+on the TraceViewer user interface. For more information, see
+Dictionary file and trace activation.
+
Before you can activate trace components and groups, open the Dictionary file
+(.xml) that contains the necessary component and group information.
+See Decoding binary traces with a Dictionary file.
+
To activate traces:
+
+
From the TraceViewer menu, select Trace Activation.
+The Trace activation dialog is displayed, showing the components and
+groups loaded from the Dictionary file.
+
(Optional) Activation configurations can be saved
+and loaded from an XML file.
+To load a saved activation configuration file:
+
+
Select Load Configuration...
+
Select the correct configuration from the list.
+
Click OK.
+
+
Tip: To save
+a configuration after making changes to it, click Save Current....
+Then select a file, type the configuration name and click OK. One file
+can contain several configurations.
+
To activate components and groups, do any of the following:
+
+
Select one or more components or groups from the list, right-click and
+select Activate.
+
Select one or more components from the list, and double-click groups to
+change the activation state or click Activate.
+
In the Filter field, type in the component or group name (or an
+asterisk for a wildcard), right-click and select Activate.
+
+
See the following example:
+
+
If the connection to a trace source is established, click Send Activation

The trace groups you selected are activated and traces are received from the device.
