Name and location of the trace file

“File type”

File format

  • ‎*.trace‎:

    “Trace file” contains the data and configuration.

    You can run the “Load Trace” command to load the file to the trace editor when offline.

  • ‎*.txt‎:

    “Text file” contains the recorded data. You can load this file type and edit it with tools that support CSV format.

    It cannot be loaded to the trace editor when offline because the trace editor cannot read this format.

  • ‎*.trace.csv‎

    “Trace CSV file (data only)” contains the recorded data. Address information is provided for each trace variable. The created file can be read in the runtime system. The data is imported but the trace cannot be started because the variable addresses are not saved.
