8.19.3 Configuration of the Trace element
To be able to display traced variables within your visualization, you first have to insert
an appropriate trace object within your project. Therein, you configure the variables to
be traced, an eventual trigger variable as well as the trace itself (axis, refresh rate, etc.).
The option "Generate Trace POU for visualization" within the trace configuration will
provoke the implicit generation of a component named
"<Tracename>_<Recordname>_VISU". This option has to be activated, in order that the
trace may serve as input of a visual trace element.
The visual trace element can be added to a visualization by dragging it from the
toolbox.
