When you close this dialog with OK, all settings defined here will be saved to disk, and reloaded next time you start DevTracer Monitor. Some settings you define here can also be changed using the menu or tool bar. Changes made using the menu or tool bar will not be saved to disk.

  • Default Filename for 'Save as ...'

    Using menu File → Save as ... it is possible to save the trace information to a file. Selecting that menu item will display the standard windows dialog for saving files.

    Here you can specify a default filename for saving files. Then you only have to press OK in the save dialog.
