write traces to q-file

command: WRITE <q-file> <trc-list>

Writes traces to q-file. Only the visible part of the traces (inside the current display time window) is saved. All info entry values are stored in the q-file. If the trace is read from q-file or is derived from another trace which is read from a q-file, all info values stored on file only are copied from the parent q-file to the new one. If the output q-file doesn't exist a new file is created, otherwise the traces are appended at the end of the file.

parameters

  • <q-file> parameter type: filename (without extension)
    Name of q-file to be created or to append traces.
  • <trc-list> parameter type: trace list
    List of traces to be written.

qualifiers

  • /save_origin
    Updates start time of each trace with respect to the relative time position before writing trace.
