Customizing the Trace Visualization

Customizing the Trace Visualization

Within Tracealyzer’s trace view, tasks, events and state machines are now organized into view fields, collections of tasks, intervals or events. In this post, we are going to examine how you can use those views to simplify working with Tracealyzer.
