Session

One of the enhancements added along with the release of the Message Viewer is the modularity between these two viewers. This allows easier navigation and comparison between different data without having to open the session file. If a trace session is opened in the existing Message View, it will become the associated session for all opened Timeline Viewers. This is consistent with the established behavior.

To change the associated session for that timeline, click on the drop-down button in the bottom right corner and select the session name that you wish to load.

Annotation

An annotation can be an option to mark a specific area in the Timeline Viewer. To annotate, right-click in the timeline and select Annotation.

There are 2 types of annotations:

• Axis Annotation: Select this option to annotate a time region across all lanes. You can also open the dialog by pressing Ctrl while dragging through the region you want to annotate and release.

  

  Press OK to see the axis annotation appear in the Timeline Viewer.

  

• Lane Annotation: Select this option to annotate a time region on a specific lane. This can cover a range of selected values on the y-axis, if the lane type supports it. You can also open the dialog by pressing Ctrl and Shift while dragging through the area and release.

  

  Press OK to see the lane annotation appear in the Timeline Viewer.
