Remote trace
The commands in this section configure tracing of the remote control interface and of
events. They also configure the display of the SCPI remote trace.
Before you start tracing, configure all settings as desired. Modifying settings while trac-
ing is active may result in loss of already traced data. Useful exception: Selecting a
new target file while tracing is allowed. For start mode
EXPLicit
a restart of the
instrument resets the settings to the documented default values.
If you want to start tracing already during startup of the instrument, configure all set-
tings (including start mode
AUTO
). Then restart your instrument. Tracing will be started
automatically during the restart, using the already configured settings.
If you use an XML file as trace file, ensure that tracing is stopped properly. If tracing is
aborted instead of stopped, for example by shutting down the instrument for stop mode
EXPLicit
, the XML file will be invalid, because some tags are not closed.
When the maximum file size is reached (except for stop mode
BUFFerfull
) or if trac-
ing is started with an already existing trace file, a backup of the trace file is created and
the file itself is reset and overwritten. When the file is full for the second time or when
tracing is started the next time, the first backup file is lost because it is overwritten by
the next backup. In order to prevent loss of data, set a sufficient file size, select an
appropriate stop mode and archive/copy completed trace files if you want to keep
them.
