Select Insert | Statistics Command | Q-DAS Tracefields to insert the Q-DAS tracefields. This option inserts the tracefields for K-fields whose "Value From" properties are set to "TRACE" in the Setup K-Field Configuration window of the Q-DAS Configurator.
Q-DAS tracefields help you create measurement routines that support Q-DAS statistical software. For information on the Q-DAS Configurator, see the Q-DAS Configurator documentation.
Before you insert Q-DAS tracefields, you need to create a STATS/ON,Q-DAS,DFQ command. For information, see "Sending Statistics to a Q-DAS Database".
After you insert Q-DAS tracefields, if you update the Q-DAS configuration file (<name>.qdascfg.xml), you must re-insert the Q-DAS tracefields.
Here's an example of some Q-DAS tracefields in the Edit window:
QDAS_TRACEFIELDS=GROUP/SHOWALLPARAMS=No
EXECUTION CONTROL=AS MARKED
ENDGROUP/ID=QDAS_TRACEFIELDS
To expand the group, you can change SHOWALLPARAMS from No to Yes.
QDAS_TRACEFIELDS=GROUP/SHOWALLPARAMS=YES
EXECUTION CONTROL=AS MARKED
