195.3 General

The Hicom tracer provides the system specialist with a tool by means of which message traffic between the individual program complexes of the Hicom system and LAN objects can be conveniently traced.
Therefore the Tracer is an important on-line test aid for use in the field and at customers’ premises.
For the SWU, a similar tracer tool is available which is controlled with the AMO TRACS. The AMO offers a slightly more extensive range of trace options (see AMO description of TRACS - Operation of the System Tracer (SWU)).
