Step-by-step tracing

Runtime Tracing for C, C++ and Java

When tracing large applications, it may be useful to slow down the display of the UML sequence diagram. You can do this by using the Step-by-Step mode.

To activate Step-by-Step mode:

  1. From the UML/SD Viewer menu, select Display Mode and Step-by-Step.

To select the type of graphical element to skip over:

  1. In the UML/SD Viewer toolbar, click the button_build_options.gif button.

  2. Select the graphical elements that will stop the Step command. Clear the elements that are to be ignored.

To step to the next selected element:

  1. Click the Step button in the UML/SD Viewer toolbar or press F10.

To skip to the end of execution:

  1. Click the Continue button in the UML/SD Viewer toolbar. This will immediately display the rest of the UML sequence diagram.

To restart the Step-by-Step display:

  1. Click the Restart button in the UML/SD toolbar.

To de-activate Step-by-Step mode

  1. From the UML/SD Viewer menu, select Display Mode and All.
