Using the Trace Viewer

The Trace Viewer is a script application included with VTS. Before you can run the Trace Viewer, it must be added to the list of applications in the VAM.

If it does not currently appear in the VAM, follow the directions included in Adding Existing Applications to the VAM to add it.

On startup, the Trace Viewer will look similar to the following image.  To begin using the functions, you must select either a live data source or a stored log file as prompted.
