Program description
Real time Recording:
ComTrace is multi thread optimized to give you the highest precision and performance for data analysis. In all cases data accuracy is guaranteed through the multi thread event technology of ComTrace.
Timestamp:
Your system's high performance counter is able to down size the resolution to microseconds. If your system has no high performance timer, the resolution will be 55 milliseconds or even better. ComTrace checks for the existing timer capabilities at startup.
Triggers:
One of the key features of Comtrace is its "Trigger Engine", which will help to trigger (search) for dedicated events on the data or signal lines, errors or time/date events. You can add up to 256 triggers into the Trigger Panel. You can use multiple start/stop triggers in any sequence. So you are able to setup a trigger condition with one or more start/stop conditions for one recording session. These triggers are saved to your own environment file, to use it again any time you want.
Save multiple environments:
You can save any amount of environment files to your disk, as they may belong to customer sessions or environments. Load, save and edit your settings! These settings also include the port and record file settings.
Multiple display modes:
There are many possibilities to show you the data as you want. Switch to Detailed (vertical), Data Only or Data Dump view. Show characters in USASCII or EBCDIC with or without Control and Command chars, in Hexadecimal, Decimal, Octal or Binary. Drag the columns of the view to get the best result.
"COM setup/Real Port" window
This window enables you to setup your COM port and (!) to look at the real status LEDs of the serial interface lines.
"Measure point/Statistics" window
This window gives you detailed information about the currently selected measure point, the previous and next measure point, and shows gauges for the line load (actual/peek) and the line quality.
Print report
The recorded data and their detailed information can be printed out to a printer of any type (laser, ink jet, PDF writer), you've installed as a windows printer. ComTrace takes care of your settings made in the display options of the "Main Screen" and prints your data as shown!
