You can open a trace connection from the toolkit or from a LabVIEW VI or project.

Before you can execute a trace session, you must open a trace connection between the Desktop Execution Trace Toolkit and the LabVIEW application instance in which the application you want to debug runs.

Note If you did not previously enable VI Server access in LabVIEW, you might receive a message prompting you to configure the LabVIEW VI Server before you can open a trace connection.

After you open a trace connection to a LabVIEW application instance, you can configure and execute trace sessions on applications running in that instance.
