Overview
The trace visualization framework consists of two main components:
Timeline Definition for configuring the structure and content of the timeline. The configuration is stored in a file with the extension “.timelinedefinition”.
Timeline Viewer for displaying the timeline using the trace data from the active session with the configuration stored in the Timeline Definition file.
Currently, four types of visualization are supported:
Message: A simple one-to-one representation of the matching messages on the timeline.
Plot: A series of data points for a selected field plotted over time.
Phase: A visual representation of a range between two messages on the timeline, where the first message is a message that is defined as the trigger, and the second message is another message that is defined as the end of the phase.
VCD (Value Change Dump): A visual representation of a compact waveform format. Only scalar (single bit) and vector (multi bit) signals are supported.
