196.4.2.10 AutoTracer (AUTOTR)

An automatic Tracer function (AutoTracer) is implemented in SWU-Tracer. If the AutoTracer is not deactivated by the user it starts automatically after every restart and the AutoTracer buffers (up to 7 buffers if there is no other trace active and at least 2 buffers if other trace is active) are written to the AutoTrace file. The AutoTracer message selection can be displayed using STA,AUTOTR;.
Below you can find the default settings (which are set after every reload or if the selections are reset):
CONDITIONGROUP 3 ( MAX. MESSAGE LENGTH = 48 BYTES ) : /* All other SW messages
ALL MESSAGES ARE ENTERED INTO THE TRACE BUFFER
The default message selection from AutoTracer can be changed by the usual SELMSG,AUTOTR; command. The current group selections are:
- Group 1 to 4 select record-type SW (CP and PP);
- Group 5 and 6 select record-type RCV.
Please refer to command RES,AUTOTR; for resetting the AutoTracer selection settings.
In case of a standard trace buffer (ON,BUF;) the used buffers (by standard trace) are kept for two hours after the "OFF" command and afterwards those buffers are released to be available for AutoTracer again. In case of standard trace to HD the buffers are immediately released after "OFF" command, so they can be available for AutoTracer.
