6.11.1 Viewing Trace Files
You can use trace files to help during troubleshooting. There is a separate trace file for the APP Recorder
and the APP Driver.
Trace files include:
 Tracexxx.wri Driver Trace File
 CTracexxx.wri Connection Trace File
 RTracexxx.wri Recorder Trace File
 ATracexxx.yyy All Trace File
Note: xxx is recorder number and yyy is a sequence number
Each trace file lists the major processes carried out by its respective program, either the APP Recorder or
the APP Driver. When a trace file grows to approximately 500 Kbytes, it will automatically be closed and
given an extension an incremented extension (for example, .001, .002, and so on.) A new trace file will be
created.
There is also an All Trace (ATrace) file available. The ATrace is intended for use with software to parse
the ATrace log for specific trace information. The ATrace is not simply a consolidation of the Recorder and
Driver trace files. The ATrace includes additional trace information from: Recorder, Driver, PMU, DNP3,
Modbus, IRIG-B and is intended for diagnostics and correlation of log entries.
The Recorder, Driver trace and ATrace files are stored in the C:\APP Recorder\Setup directory.
