Trace Ctrl

If you have a problem with the program, it is possible that we will ask you to generate a trace. Traces are reports of what the program was doing when you encouter the problem.

The first step is to open the trace interface. There's 3 way to do this:

•By clicking the "Trace Ctrl" button of the File/Debug group.

•Directly from the keyboard by typing both the "Ctrl" key and a number "1" to "9". The number you use will preset the trace level in the interface.

•Trough the "Debug Wnd" interface by clicking the "New Trace" button.

The Trace Interface (Started with "Ctrl-1" to "Ctrl-9" or the "New Trace" button in the debugging interface)


Text window	Some feedbacks, like start and stop...
Modules	You can restrict the trace to certain modules of the program. The choices are: Main All the modules that start and stop sliceO along with the main loops Class All the modules that work with the classes Config The configuration menu and its modules Cuda All Cuda modules Menu The Main menu and its modules Mode The differnt modes DLLs System The system DLLs Tool The different tools DLLs Undo The undo/redo operations and menus VR All VR modules Fct Members of the "Module_Structures" DLL. Gadget The program's gadgets (like the tag and brush selection tools) in the "Module_Tools" DLL Lib All the internal libraries used by the program (Lib_*.dll) Util Un-used at this time
Functions	You can restrict the trace to certain functions within the desired modules of the program. The choices are: Main All the functions that start and stop sliceO along with the main loops Ctrl All the functions that are used in the module's interfaces Ima All the functions that display images to the screen Class All the diffent classes Draw All the functions that draw to the image window Result All the functions that are associated with the "Results" tools Script All the functions that read/write scripts Update Inside each modules, tehre is an "Update" function that react to external changes Var All the functions that read/write to system variables Work Any function in a module that do the actual computation for that module IPC The "Inter Process Communication" tools used to synchronyse the processes Proc Window's "Proc" functions.
Trace Level	You can also restrict the trace to certain "levels". The higher the trace level, the more detailed will be the trace. But higher level traces will generate huge trace files and will also slow down the program. User the higher levels when you start the trace close to the problem you have. For example if you have a problem when you click on the "Erosion" button of the Morpho mode, start sliceOmatic, load you image, go to the Morpho mode and start the trace just before you click on the "Erosion" button. Stop the trace immediately after your problem show up! On the other hand, if your problem is a crash of sliceOmatic, then you do not have to stop the trace, the crash did that for you.
Start	Start the trace for the selected modules and functions at the selected trace level. The trace will be called "sliceOmatic_trace.dat" and it will be placed in your "Scratch" directory (by default, Documents/TomoVision)
Stop	Stop the trace
Exit	Exit the interface

Modules

You can restrict the trace to certain modules of the program. The choices are:

Main All the modules that start and stop sliceO along with the main loops

Class All the modules that work with the classes

Config The configuration menu and its modules

Cuda All Cuda modules

Menu The Main menu and its modules

Mode The differnt modes DLLs

System The system DLLs

Tool The different tools DLLs

Undo The undo/redo operations and menus

VR All VR modules

Fct Members of the "Module_Structures" DLL.

Gadget The program's gadgets (like the tag and brush selection tools) in the "Module_Tools" DLL

Lib All the internal libraries used by the program (Lib_*.dll)

Util Un-used at this time

Functions

You can restrict the trace to certain functions within the desired modules of the program. The choices are:

Main All the functions that start and stop sliceO along with the main loops

Ctrl All the functions that are used in the module's interfaces

Ima All the functions that display images to the screen

Class All the diffent classes

Draw All the functions that draw to the image window

Result All the functions that are associated with the "Results" tools

Script All the functions that read/write scripts

Update Inside each modules, tehre is an "Update" function that react to external changes

Var All the functions that read/write to system variables

Work Any function in a module that do the actual computation for that module

IPC The "Inter Process Communication" tools used to synchronyse the processes

Proc Window's "Proc" functions.

Trace Level

Start

Start the trace for the selected modules and functions at the selected trace level. The trace will be called "sliceOmatic_trace.dat" and it will be placed in your "Scratch" directory (by default, Documents/TomoVision)

Stop

Stop the trace

Exit

Exit the interface
