    hwi GetActiveClientHandle client_handle
    client_handle GetModelHandle model_handle [client_handle GetActiveModel]
    model_handle GetTracingCtrlHandle tc_handle
    tc_handle AddEntity node "Node 251"
    tc_handle AddEntity node "Node 197"
    tc_handle SetEntityColor node "Node 197" "255 0 0";
    tc_handle SetMode list;
    tc_handle SetSimSteps "0 1 2 3 4 5";
    set mode [tc_handle GetMode];
    set sList [tc_handle GetSimStepList];
    set traceColor [tc_handle GetEntityColor node "Node 251"];
    set traceColor2 [tc_handle GetEntityColor node "Node 197"];
} result]} {
    global errorInfo;
    puts stderr $result;
    puts "[session_handle GetError]";
