4.23 :TRACe subsystem
The commands in this subsystem are used to configure and control data storage into the buffer.
The commands are summarized in Table 4-31.
:TRACe|:DATA
The bar (|) indicates that :TRACe or :DATA can be used as the root command for this subsystem.
From this point on, the documentation in this manual will use :TRACe. If you prefer to use
:DATA, simply replace all the :TRACe command words with :DATA.
