MCS contacts each computer that is associated with the selected Correlation ID, and obtains the trace data stored on that computer. A list of trace events associated with the selected Correlation ID(s) appears.

Details about the selected Correlation ID appear in the Trace Message and/or Trace Raw Data fields, below the event list.
- To display the trace raw data in a more readable format, select Display renderers.
The rendered data replaces the raw data (byte stream) displayed in the Trace Raw Data field.
If a product provides multiple renderers, click Select renderer to select a different renderer from those provided.

Select a saved trace file or a currently active trace and then click OK to view the contents of that file, or click Cancel to return to the current trace.
