Hi guys,

Im writing an application on Dev Studio 2.3.1 for the Q2698 and trace function is not working at all. Even if debug mode is selected. Can someone tell me what settings are required to get trace messages. I have just modified one of the sample apps to suit my needs. Thanks

Did you select the trace levels you want to display in the trace view configuration dialog?  
Channel: ADL  
Levels: the ones you’re using in your TRACE(()) calls
