ITDT-GE offers the opportunity to visualize the content of DUMP
and ITDT log files (BLOB files).
Dump files can be retrieved with ITDT or any other tool that supports
this function.
Dump files that are generated by ITDT have the suffix ".a" or
".b".
BLOB files are generated during the run of an ITDT test sequence,
such as "Standard Test".
BLOB files have the suffix ".blz".
Both file types can be opened and visualized with ITDT-GE.

Opening a Dump or BLOB file
A Dump or a BLOB file can be opened either with the menu command
File/Open Log File or by switching to the Log Files
perspective and pressing Open Log File .... In both cases, a File
Selection dialog opens where files can be selected for display. After the successful opening of a file, the data is shown.
Two views are available for presenting the
data - each at a separate panel.

file on the left side. An event is a group of information and consists
of 1 to n Elements shown on the right. By selecting one event list
entry on the left, the corresponding data (event elements) is shown
on the right.
The Report panel offers the opportunity
