Multiple trace

A multiple trace consists of individual, completed consecutive traces. Using multiple tracing
on a card, it is possible to cyclically record (a specific number) traces with the same trace
configuration (number of channels, sample depth, recording cycle,..), and to save these
traces persistently on the drive memory card.
The functions "endless trace", "individual trace" and "multiple-trace" cannot be used at the
same time. With a correspondingly incorrect configuration, alarm "A02097" is output.
However, a multiple trace with a cycle of 1 is nothing more than a single trace with saved
measurement results.
Note
Shorter service life of memory cards as a result of multiple traces
The service life of the cards can be shortened by the multiple traces because the memory
media is subject to wear as a result of the write access operations from a technical point of
view.
Note
The performance of the complete system can be negatively influenced by a continuous
multiple trace.
Precondition
A multiple trace is only possible if the memory card is plugged in and not blocked. In this
case, alarm "A02098 MTrace: cannot be saved" is output with alarm value "1".
