NG-Trace2 is an Add-On Tool for PG5. It allows to display trace buffers of a wide range of Saia PCD\u00ae<\/sup>\u00a0<\/span>applications. The package includes an FBox library with the necessary functions to handle the trace buffer in the Saia PCD\u00ae<\/sup>. The data and events stored in the trace buffer can be viewed by the NG-Trace tool either online or at a later time. The size of the buffer is adjustable to suite the desired autonomy. All numeric values can immediately be displayed in a graphical representation. An export function allows you to store the data in\u00a0a\u00a0Excel table for a more flexible representation and documentation.<\/p>\n

The same tool is able to\u00a0download\u00a0and show various buffers created in different ways.<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. An FBox can be used to create a buffer that will trace events for some Saia libraries like:
    – Modem driver
    – S-Bus Station Control
    – EIB Driver.\n

    <\/span><\/li>\n

  2. Other FBoxes can create a buffer to trace particular\u00a0Saia PCD\u00ae<\/sup>\u00a0signals like XOB events or State change of a range of flags.\n

    <\/span><\/li>\n

  3. Used with Engiby’s communication drivers, the trace buffer can store useful events like changes of status, errors detection, tranmsmission of commands,\u00a0reception\u00a0of telegrams. This use is bound to the license of the corresponding communication driver.\n

    <\/span><\/li>\n

  4. With a suitable license, NG-Trace allows you to fully configure a trend buffer (with NG-Trace, without FBox) with up to 256\u00a0Saia PCD\u00ae<\/sup>\u00a0variables in various formats like binary, nibbles, words and long words.
    A time stamp or a milli-second counter can be added to each record. Data recording can be triggered on value changes (with specified minimum delta), on regular interval or on command bit set in the Saia PCD\u00ae<\/sup>.
    An Enable flag allows you to start recording only when necessary and to optimize the use of the buffer capacity. For a better understanding of this function, the freeware version includes a demonstration of this option.\n

    <\/span><\/li>\n

  5. A so called ‘Public Event Buffer’ can be used in your own development (e.g. FBox developement) to trace any event you like. An FB call (in IL) is provided to load event in the buffer.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
