For example, you could run your application and automatically take a frame capture on frame 10, do a frame capture with overdraw mode switched on at frame 20 and do a frame capture with fragment count mode enabled at frame 30.

To add an automated trace command, first select and pause the process that you want to add commands to and then open the Automated Trace view:

Select Add Command and the Add Automated Trace Command dialog opens:

Here you can select the type of command you want and which frames it applies to. You must specify at least one frame number to add a command. For a frame number to be considered valid, it must:

• Be greater than the current frame plus one.
• Not already have an automated command associated with it.

If the list of frames is invalid, the Frame number(s) text box is highlighted in red. A tooltip on the text box gives the reason.

When you have a valid list of frames, select the OK button:

You can then add more commands and remove existing ones:

When you are happy with the list, press the button. When the trace reaches frames that you have added commands to, those commands are executed.
