To use the Trace Capture, first check the appropriate trace masks. Click Apply Masks and then
click Start Logging. Logging starts and the display changes to show the state of the log. An
example of a running log is shown in Figure 61.
Figure 61. Example of a Running Log - Trace Capture
When the Trace Capture is running, the fill level of the log is displayed. The log uses a circular
buffer, so when it reaches capacity, new data overwrites the old. Once the log reaches capacity, the
fill level does not change.
The log can be transferred to a PC by clicking Download. Doing this brings up a File Download
dialog box as shown in Figure 62. Select Save to save the file to your PC. After saving, you can
view the file using most any ASCII text editor, such as Wordpad or Notepad.

Important points to remember about Trace Capture are:
• After modifying the trace keys be sure to click Apply Masks.
• It is not necessary to stop logging to change trace keys. The keys can be changed on the fly.
• Downloading the Trace Capture clears the log and starts a new log file.
• Stopping the log and then restarting it does not clear the log, new data is just appended to the
log.
