The runtime system as the simulator include a digital sampling trace recorder. The configuration of the signals to analyse is done through the straton Integrated Development Tool (IDE).

The recorder is capable to register periodically the state of up to 8 boolean variables. Samples can be registered either on each cycle or according to a configurable period. The value are registered locally in the straton runtime and can be upload with the IDE for analysing.

The digital sampling trace is the perfect tool for tracking aleas and events in the IEC61131 application.
