Tutorial – What is trace?

Trace provides a non-intrusive and deepest possible insight into an embedded application without affecting its real-time behavior. It can be used to debug the most complex code defects as well as timing issues and offers a complete trace history capture of the program execution.

In this short video you will learn all about it's benefits, different concepts and gain the basic knowledge of the process.
