# Trace Configuration

Traces provide users with a graphical representation of the tightening. Traces can begin either from when the trigger is pressed or from after rundown complete.

Parameter | Description | Default value
--- | --- | ---
Trace | Enables the result to be viewed in graphic form. Off: No trace is made. Trigger pressed: The trace is drawn from when the tool trigger is pressed. Rundown complete: The trace is drawn from when Rundown complete is reached. | Off

The maximum number of trace points is 2000 (200 for STB tools). If the maximum number of trace points is exceeded, every other result will be erased (effectively halving the sampling rate). Tracing will continue as long as the tightening is active, and every time the maximum number of trace points is reached, half of the trace points will be erased to allow the tracing to continue. Tracing will stop when the final stage of the tightening has finished.
