Set a trace range to indicate an area for which you want to capture trace information. Information is captured only for the specified area, and not for any areas that are branched to. These branches are represented as Trace Pause status lines in the Analysis window. You can set the following types of range:

• instructions only

• instructions and data.

You can also set an excluded trace range, to indicate an area for which trace information is not captured. You can set the following types of excluded range:

• instructions and data. You cannot use this type of range in conjunction with include ranges.

• data only. You can use this type of range in conjunction with include ranges.

If you do not set an end point for the range, the default end point is used, that is, 0xFFFFFFFF.

  If you want to generate profile information, you should set trace start and end points (at the boundaries of the functions you want to profile) instead of setting ranges. In particular, setting an excluded trace range can lead to incorrect or misleading profiling data.
