Trace Configuration File
Abb. 64 Example: Trace Configuration File
The trace configuration file <Tracename>_<Recordname>.tcg has to be stored in the
directory of the runtime system, e.g. in the directory "C:\Programs\3S »PLC
Designer«\Gateway PLC".
[Record] Part:
Setting the "DeviceAppPrefix" to the common part of the path of the traced variables
spares yourself the trouble of indicating the entire name (including the path) of each
variable. This prefix will be visible within the tooltip, if "UsePrefix" is set to 1.
Otherwise, if "UsePrefix" is set to 0, the prefix will be hidden. The parameter
"CyclesToLeave" corresponds to the parameter "Measure in every <x>-th cycle" of the
trace configuration.
[Variables] Part
The number of the variables to be traced is specified by "VariableCount". It can be
maintained or reduced in comparison with the original trace. There must not be more
variables than in the original trace! All variables to be traced have to be contained in a
symbol configuration; alternatively, they can be declared via the data source.
