Verilator is capable of generating VCD files with the states of logic lines for visualizing the execution of the HDL. GTKWave is a Free and Open Source Software application for working with these files.

An example of generating the VCD files is here.

The GRC Block should have an option for enabling trace generation and a file path for where to generate it.
