Executing a Trace Session

After you open a trace connection, you can execute a trace session to capture the data. Complete the following steps to execute a trace session.

1. Click Start on the Home tab or press <Ctrl-R> to start the trace session and begin tracing data.
2. In LabVIEW, run the application you want to trace. If you want to trace a stand-alone application, run the executable. The table pane of the Desktop Execution Trace Toolkit displays the execution events you selected when you configured the trace session. You also can filter trace data that appears in the table pane to make the table easier to read.
3. When you finish tracing data, click Stop or press <Ctrl-T> to end the trace session.

After you complete a trace session, you can save the trace to view it later or export the trace to a text (.txt) file.
