This option sets the start point for a range of addresses for which program instructions and data accesses are not captured. That is, this option is the inverse of the option Start of Trace Range (Instruction and Data), where the excluded range you set ensures that program instructions and data accesses are captured for all areas of your program except those within the range you specify.

  If the excluded range you specify contains a branch to another area of your program, that branched area is included in the trace capture if it has itself been marked for capture, or if no other points are set.

When you select this option, an arrow is placed in the left margin, next to the line of code you have selected.

After you have set a start-range point, the corresponding end-range point, End of Excluded Trace Range (Instruction and Data), becomes available in the List Selection dialog. No other range-setting options are available until after you select an associated end-range point. When you set an end-range point, an arrow is placed in the left margin next to the line of code you have selected

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