  • Page 110: Sampling Trace

    < 7. Sampling Trace > Sampling Trace What is Sampling Trace? The sampling trace function is used for storing states and contents of specified devices sequentially in the sampling trace memory of the CPU (only for F3SP25 and higher models). The tracing results can be displayed as scan charts or time charts using WideField2.

  • Page 111: Sampling Trace Setup

    < 7. Sampling Trace > Sampling Trace Setup You can set up sampling trace either online using the Sampling Trace Tool or offline using the Configuration dialog box. Offline sampling trace setup using the Configuration dialog box is stored and will not be affected when power is turned off.

  • Page 112: Sampling Modes

    < 7. Sampling Trace > Sampling Modes The following three sampling modes are available. - When the TRC instruction is executed You can sample data of a specified contact at any point during a scan using the TRC instruction in a program. - When the END instruction is executed You can sample data of a specified contact at the end of each scan using the END instruction.
  • Page 113 < 7. Sampling Trace > You can specify sampling data in the following way. Sampling data is stored sequentially in the sampling trace buffer (rotary buffer) of the CPU when a sampling trace is executed in a specified sampling mode (see the figure on the right).
  • Page 114 < 7. Sampling Trace > 2. Specifying a positive delay count When you specify a positive delay count, 1,024 data items following the specified number of data items collected after a trigger condition is established are stored in the sampling trace buffer. The following illustration shows an example when you specify a delay count as "+500".
