Command: Online List

Function: The command opens the Online List dialog. When the trace editor of a DeviceTrace object is enabled, all traces which are running on the controller are displayed in a tree view. When the trace editor of an application-specific trace object is enabled, only this trace is displayed if it is running on the controller.

Call: Trace menu; context menu of the trace editor

Requirement: The runtime system uses the CmpTraceMgr components. An application which belongs to the device is in online mode.

Closing the DeviceTrace editor terminates the connection to the controller.

Note that the connection to the controller is also terminated when the last open DeviceTrace editor is closed. In order for device traces to be displayed again in the project, you have to reload them into the DeviceTrace objects.

Currently, closing the editor is also the recommended way to deliberately terminate the connection to the controller. Logging out is not enough for this.

Dialog: Online List

Delete from runtime

Stops and removes the selected trace from the running application

Upload

The command is visible when a DeviceTrace is loaded in the trace editor. A DeviceTrace is a trace which runs on the controller: In the device tree, it can be represented with a DeviceTrace object directly below a device.

When you execute this command, the trace which is selected in the tree view is loaded from the runtime system into the trace editor. Any existing configuration in the project is overwritten. For example, the device can provide traces for data of the processor load (cpuload, plcload), which then you can track in the trace editor in CODESYS.

An individual DeviceTrace object is necessary in the device tree for each trace of the device that should be displayed in the project.
