9.5.1.3 How to Configure a Standard Trace
Step-by-step instructions on configuring the trace settings are provided here.
For details on individual functions and settings see Chapter 9.5.1.2, "Trace Settings",
on page 582.
The remote commands required to perform these tasks are described in Chap-
ter 14.8.2, "Configuring the Trace Display and Retrieving Trace Data", on page 1124.
Trace settings are configured in the "Traces" dialog box.
To display the "Traces" dialog box, do one of the following:
●
Press the [TRACE] key and then select the "Trace Config" softkey.
●
Select "Analysis" from the "Overview", then select the "Traces" tab.
1. For each trace, select the "Trace Mode" and "Trace Detector". Traces with the
trace mode "Blank" are not displayed.
2. To configure several traces to predefined display modes in one step, press the but-
ton for the required function:
● "Preset All Traces"
● "Set Trace Mode Max | Avg | Min"
● "Set Trace Mode Max | ClrWrite | Min"
For details see Chapter 9.5.1.2, "Trace Settings", on page 582.
3. For "Average" trace mode, define the number of sweeps to be averaged in the
"Count:" field.
4. If linear scaling is used, select the "Average Mode": "Linear".
5. To improve the trace stability, increase the number of "Sweep Points" or the
"Sweep Time" (in the "Sweep" settings).
All configured traces (not set to "Blank") are displayed after the next sweep.
