[Size required for one trace of each device]
Trace device type
Word device
Bit device
The size of trace data can be calculated from the following equation.
[Trace data size (byte)]
= (([number of bit device units] + [number of word devices]) × [2 (byte)] + [4 (byte) (*)]) × [trace count]
(*) Only when time information is added
Calculation example for trace data size is shown below.

(*2) Applicable devices with trace/trigger point details setting
Bit device: X, Y, M, L, F, SB, B, SM, T(contact), ST(contact), C(contact)
Word device: T(current value), ST(current value), C(current value), D, R, SW, SD, W,ZR
Following qualifications are available for the above devices.

When any inapplicable device is set for [Device], an error occurs when the trace setting file to execute trace is read.
(*3) Applicable devices with device setting
Bit device: X, Y, M, L, F, SB, B, SM, T(contact), T(coil), ST(contact), ST(coil), C(contact), C(coil)
Word device: T(current value), ST(current value), C(current value), D, R, SW, SD, W,ZR
Following qualifications are available for the above devices.

Word device bit designation
Process following an inapplicable device setting is as follows.
If one or more applicable devices already exist, the setting of the inapplicable device will be ignored.
If no applicable devices exist, an error occurs at trace execution.

Size (byte) required for one trace
2 bytes per point
2 bytes per unit (1 unit = 16 points)
1 to 16 points -> 1 unit -> 2 bytes
17 to 32 points -> 2 units -> 4 bytes
33 to 48 points -> 3 units -> 6 bytes
49 to 50 points -> 4 units -> 8 bytes
