Trace Record Header

Each trace record displayed is preceded by a header line of the following format, as

shown in the following example:

DateStamp

is the date on which this trace record was captured.

TimeStamp

is the time at which this trace record was captured.

DeltaTime

is the amount of time, in microseconds, that has passed since the previous trace

record was captured. If the time reaches 999.999999 seconds or greater, then

999.999999 is displayed. The delta time is 0 for the first record and for any record

having a timestamp earlier than the previous record displayed.

TraceRecordNumber

is the number of the trace record. Trace record numbers are generated sequentially

beginning at 1. However, record numbers in the actual trace file might not start at 1

if the WRAP option was turned on when the trace was made. The WRAP option

causes records to wrap around; the first records in the file are overwritten if the trace

becomes full. This means that the oldest data is overwritten first.

Type

is the type of information contained in the record. See Table 5-2 on page 5-7 for

record type identifiers.
