Filtering the Trace Viewer's List

The Trace Viewer allows you to filter the data being displayed in the list so that you may analyze only the information that you are interested in. Note that the filter applies only to the display: all data continues to be logged.

Which columns can be filtered and what criteria are available for filtering both depend on which live data source you are viewing. As a minimum, the ability to filter for only the highlighted records is always available. Other filters may allow multiple selections from a list of options, or free text input that will be searched for in the specified field.

In general, to filter the Trace Viewer’s display list:

1.  Select the Define Filter button. The Filter Selection dialog will open, showing the options appropriate to the type of trace you are viewing.  The example shown here is for the Driver trace.

2.  Set the filtering options you require (see Filter Selection Dialog Options for detailed instructions).

3.  Select the Apply button. The list will be filtered according to the criteria you specified.

4.  Continue to adjust the filtering parameters as you require.

5.  Select the OK button to close the Filter Selection dialog.

To remove filters from the Trace Viewer’s list:

Filters are removed the same way they are set.  In the Filter Selection dialog, for each tab in which you have set a filter, open the tab and clear the filters from the list by selecting them and using the Delete key on your keypad.
