8.8.4 General functions of TraceTool
Basic functionality available for Trace:
Function Description
Recording signal • System variables of the Technology CPU and technology objects.
• Internal variables of SINAMICS drives
• Variables of the user program at the "Trace" technology DB.
Recording conditions • Recording in synchronism with a selected system clock.
• Infinite trace or certain logging period (not possible when tracing
SINAMICS drives).
Trigger This specifies when the system starts with the recording. This can be:
• Specific value or the value range of a variable
Invoked by:
• Sets a system variable
• Function generator
Function generator • Input of defined signal shapes
• Coupling of the two function generators
Display measurements in
table format
• Measurements are shown in a table in the "Measurements" tab.
• Details about the various trends are found in the "Trace detail" tab of
the detail view.
• Measurement repeats with identical trace configuration
Display and edit measuring
trends
• Indication of logged measurements by means of trends in the "Time
diagram", "FFT diagram" and "Bode diagram" trends.
• 2 measuring cursors per coordinate axis
• Scaling and zoom functions
• Hiding measurements
• Memo function
Bit trace Representation of individual bit values of recorded measurements
Save trace measurements
and parameters
• Store and archive trace parameter settings and recorded
measurements.
• Catalog functions for the reuse of common trace parameter settings
