 Use this mode when you can reproduce the problem: Start tbdebug with a long enough period and then reproduce the problem. This ensures that only a short and appropriate portion of the application logs aregathered, simplifying the analysis of the log files by focusing on the period where the actual problem was reproduced.

 In this mode, the ''tbdebug'' application will not use an acquisition period, but will instantly gather logs of all applications for the current day, as well as other logs that are not related to an acquisition period (there will thus be no IP capture or recording in that mode).
 Use this mode when the bug has already occurred, and cannot be reproduced again.

 Additional capture parameters can be configured from the tbdebug configuration file:

 In this mode, the ''tbdebug'' application will download only the log files of Toolpack applications for that period of acquisition, and will optionally capture IP packets from TMedia, and record calls using tbstreamserver.
