Trace Events - Img 1

The trace events grid displays specific messages that you are interested in seeing without the distraction of unrelated events. These trace events are grouped by the trace name. The trace name is automatically assigned when you add a new trace event. There are a number of different trace event types. The available trace types are:

  • By Cardholder
  • By Cardnumber
  • By Control Point
  • By Controller
  • By Gateway
  • By Message Type
  • By Monitor Point
  • By Panel
  • By Reader

Setup a Trace Event

  1. To add a new trace click the New Trace icon.

  4. Note that since trace events are grouped by the trace name, it must be unique. For this reason, the Unique Trace Name is automatically created, so at this point you simply have to click the Add Trace button and the trace becomes active immediately.

    Messages that are generated by this reader are displayed independently on the trace grid similarly to Live Events.

  5. Also similar to Live Events is the Field Chooser, which allows you to select which columns and information is displayed for the events. Click the icon to the left of the first column and then make your field selections.
