In order to find out which instructions, data or system states had caused malfunctioning of the target system it was necessary to spend a lot of time analysing the trace listing.

The context tracking system - CTS for short - now allows to recreate the state of the target system at a selected point based on the information sampled in the trace buffer. From this starting point the program steps previously recorded in real time in the trace memory can be debugged again.

The Context Tracking System (CTS) uses the information from the trace analyzer with the help of an instruction set simulator to generate system states related to the cursor position in the trace buffer. You can single step a program part, which was executed before in realtime.

The system shows local and global variables in memory or registers in the same windows like the regular debugger. Stepping is possible in both directions. Reconstructing register values with instruction set simulators is supported for the 68K family, PowerPC, SH2 and ARM7. The C167 family uses the information provided by the bondout to get the register values.
