Lauterbach: debug tools provide proof
of timing and code performance
Lauterbach has announced a new feature of
its TRACE32 tools – the ability to export Task
Event Based Trace Data for External Timing
Analysis. Lauterbach‘s TRACE32 trace tools
provide fast and efficient trouble shooting
capabilities to detect complex errors that only
