Retrieve Trace File
This function copies the trace data log file (TRACE.OUT) to the Stratagy Admin PC’s hard drive.
As part of this function, a Trace Filter Setup screen (see Figure 5 on page 38) enables you to
specify the filtering rules for selecting the desired trace records.
After Stratagy Admin filters the trace data, it decodes and expands the data into readable records
containing the information requested by you in the Trace Filter Setup screen.
Note The size of the trace file can be set using the trace_cap parameter in the install.cfg file of
Stratagy IVP8 (see
“trace_cap” on page 26 for a description of the parameter).
