# TracingWindow

## Description

Open tracing window. In this window, you can view some information related to all traced events. The tracing events are the information saved during the execution of a program. Different type of trace events are available:

* [instruction tracing events](/ida-9.3/ida-actions/toggletraceinstructions.md),
* [function tracing events](/ida-9.3/ida-actions/toggletracefunctions.md) and
* [write](/ida-9.3/ida-actions/writetraceadd.md),
* [read/write](/ida-9.3/ida-actions/readwritetraceadd.md), or
* [execution tracing events](/ida-9.3/ida-actions/exectraceadd.md).

During the execution, the list of traced events is disabled, as it couldn't be continuously synchronized with the execution without rendering the whole tracing very slow. If a '=' character is displayed in the 'Thread' and 'Address' columns, it indicates that the trace event occurred in the same thread and at the same address as the previous trace event.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.hex-rays.com/ida-9.3/ida-actions/tracingwindow.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
