Saving Traces
After recalling, analyzing and displaying the two traces in the bidirectional
table, these traces may be stored as a merged bidirectional trace in order
to facilitate file management. All information in the tables, comments and
reports for A->B, B->A, as well as the bidirectional trace will be saved in
the bidirectional file.
By default, the application saves the bidirectional file only. Consequently,
the changes you make will not be automatically saved to the original files.
You will have to save the A->B file and/or the B->A file manually.
It is also possible to modify the file path, but not the file format (.bdr for the
bidirectional file and .trc for the A->B and the B->A files).
If you want to discard the original traces and only keep the bidirectional
file, you will have to delete the files manually via Windows Explorer. For
more information, refer to Microsoft help.
To save the bidirectional file directly:
From the button bar, press Save.
To save files manually:
1. From the main window, select the Result tab then press Save As.
