The Trace Window detects the diagnostic communication and the variables changes at runtime and records them in a chronological sequence. The trace window consists of the "Communication" pane and the "Variable" pane.

In the "Communication" pane, each request and each response generate an entry including a timestamp, and detailed information.

In the "Variable" pane, at each change of a variable, a corresponding entry is generated including a timestamp, and detailed information.

The Trace window can record the communication and the changes of many execution times, or it can clear the recorded data from the previous execution when starting a new execution. You can adjust this behaviour via the button "Clear Trace" in the tab "Start" of the Ribbon.
