Notice 
 
Any trigger configuration can be configured for a PLC trace. With the trigger for a 
PLC trace, please note that the triggering sequence of the trigger must always be 
slower than the full recording duration of a trace including the pre-cycles. 
This means that entire cycles * cycle time is the minimum duration until the same 
PLC trace can be triggered again. 
Depending on the length of the trace, the PLC requires additional cycles for the 
data for the recorded trace to be retrieved.  
If the next trigger is triggered for a trace before the data of the current trace has 
been fully saved, the data cannot be recorded. Recording in parallel is not 
possible. Should this occur, the history records that the data is missing for the 
event. 
If the next trigger is activated after the data for the last trace has been saved but 
before all data items could be captured for the pretrigger, the oldest data are 
missing in the pretrigger recording. All data items are always available from the 
trigger time onwards, at the latest.
