Searching in trace data

In this section:

When you have collected trace data, you can perform searches in the collected data to locate the parts of your code or data that you are interested in, for example, a specific interrupt or accesses of a specific variable.

You specify the search criteria in the Find in Trace dialog box and view the result in the Find in Trace window.

The Find in Trace window is very similar to the Trace window, showing the same columns and data, but only those rows that match the specified search criteria. Double-clicking an item in the Find in Trace window brings up the same item in the Trace window.

To search in your trace data:

  1. On the Trace window toolbar, clickTraceFindButton_Mym80_01.png the Find button.

  2. In the Find in Trace dialog box, specify your search criteria.

    Typically, you can choose to search for:

    • A specific piece of text, for which you can apply further search criteria

    • An address range

    • A combination of these, like a specific piece of text within a specific address range.

    For more information about the various options, see Find in Trace dialog box.

  3. When you have specified your search criteria, click Find. The Find in Trace window is displayed, which means you can start analyzing the trace data. For more information, see Find in Trace window.
