This command displays the messages in the trace buffer and can be used when 
the trace is disabled or active, but if active, older messages may be sporadically 
omitted if wraparound is selected and the message rate is high. The command 
can be used repeatedly without destroying the integrity of the buffer.

a scheduling form displays to
