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