     <p>With the <c>inviso</c> API runtime components can be started and tracing managed across a network of distributed Erlang nodes, using a control component also started with <c>inviso</c> API functions.</p>
     <p>Inviso can be used both in a distributed environment and in a non-distributed. API functions not taking a list of nodes as argument works on all started runtime components. If it is the non-distributed case, that is the local runtime component. The API functions taking a list of nodes as argument, or as part of one of the arguments, can not be used in a non-distributed environment. Return values named <c>NodeResult</c> refers to return values from a single Erlang node, and will therefore be the return in the non-distributed environment.</p>

     <p>The Inviso trace system consists of one or several runtime components supposed to run on each Erlang node doing tracing and one control component which can run on any node with available processor power. Inviso may also be part of a higher layer trace tool. See the inviso-tool as an example. The implementation is spread out over the Runtime_tools and the Inviso Erlang/OTP applications. Erlang modules necessary to run the runtime component are located in Runtime_tools and therefore assumed to be available on any node. Even though Inviso is introduced with Erlang/OTP R11B the runtime component implementation is done with backward compatibility in mind. Meaning that it is possible to compile and run it on older Erlang/OTP releases.</p>
