Message-ID: <29410$42641741$49956b9$28736@ALLTEL.NET> (raw)
McKae Technologies announces the release of version 0.986a of DTraq, an
Ada 95 data logging and review tool.
DTraq is a data logging and playback debugging tool providing near
realtime data logging and analysis to aid debugging and validation.
Captured, or 'tapped' data from a program can be viewed live while the
program is running or, since it is being logged to a file, played back
or printed out later for off-line review and analysis.
DTraq differs from other logging and playback tools in that no data
layout maps or byte interpretations or "data dumpers" need to be
manually created. Nor is the application responsible for converting the
raw binary data to text form before logging it. DTraq handles all
conversion automatically by scanning the application's source code,
identifying tapped data items, and extracting the information it needs
to properly convert and display the logged items-simple scalar items as
well as arrays and records. When the layout of data items change,
rescanning automatically picks up the changes.
DTraq requires GNAT 3.15p due to its reliance on the Ada Semantic
Interface Specification (ASIS) and has been validated on Red Hat 9 Linux.
Source and executables are available on the DTraq home page:
http://www.mckae.com/dtraq.html, along with the comprehensive and
up-to-date user manual -- http://www.mckae.com/dtq_common/DTraq.pdf.
DTraq usage is described, and screenshots provided, starting at
http://www.mckae.com/dtq_usage/tapping.html.
Updates to DTraq 0.986a (versus 0.986):
- Added a Data Item Reviewing capability to live data monitoring to
permit quick reviewing of recently logged and displayed data items.
This eliminates the need to stow the current logfile, suspend logging,
and go into playback mode to just look back at a recently received item.
- Reverted the DTraq.Tap tap ID type back to the standard Positive type.
- Cleaned up version handling.
Enjoy!
