Parameters:

<Format>

ASCii | XML
Default value: XML

Example: 

TRACe:REMote:MODE:FILE1:FORMat XML

Select XML as file format for sub-instrument 1.

Firmware/Software: 

V2.0.10

TRACe:REMote:MODE:FILE<inst>:NAME 

'<FilePath>'

Specify path and name of the target file for tracing of the remote interface. For different
sub-instruments specify different files.

If you specify a new target file while tracing, the old target file is closed, the new file is
created and tracing is continued with the new file.

Suffix: 

<inst>

.

1..2
Selects the sub-instrument

Parameters:

'<FilePath>'

String parameter specifying path and name of the file
Default values: "@LOG\RemoteTrace-Inst0.xml" and "@LOG
\RemoteTrace-Inst1.xml"

Example: 

TRACe:REMote:MODE:FILE1:NAME "@LOG\trace1.xml"

Specifies the file 

trace1.xml

 in the log directory as target file for

tracing (sub-instrument 1).

Firmware/Software: 

V2.0.10

TRACe:REMote:MODE:FILE<inst>:SIZE 

<FileSize>

Specifies the maximum size of the trace file in bytes.

Suffix: 

<inst>

.

1..2
Selects the sub-instrument

Parameters:

<FileSize>

Recommended minimum value: 40000 bytes
Maximum value: 1000000000 bytes (1 GB)
Default value: 1000000000 bytes (1 GB)

Example: 

TRACe:REMote:MODE:FILE1:SIZE 100000000
