To record commands run from a Procedure document. Your computer may experience delays.

The first time you use HISTORY ON or HISTORY DETAIL, you must specify a value for "FileName". For subsequent uses of HISTORY ON or HISTORY DETAIL, "FileName" is optional.

If you use HISTORY ON without the "FileName" parameter after a HISTORY OFF command, HISTORY ON resumes recording commands in the history file specified by the last "FileName" parameter.

The DETAIL option can be used instead of the HISTORY ON command. It prompts the system to insert detailed messages useful for diagnostic purposes into the designated history file. DETAIL messages are identifiable by the ">>>" prefix. All DETAIL messages end with a statement of the amount of memory, in kilobytes, consumed by the operation. If HISTORY DETAIL is used in conjunction with the HISTORY TIMERUN command, DETAIL messages are headed by a time stamp indicating when the operation occurred.

The first time you use HISTORY ON or HISTORY DETAIL, you must specify a value for "FileName". For subsequent uses of HISTORY ON or HISTORY DETAIL, "FileName" is optional.

If you use HISTORY DETAIL without the "FileName" parameter after a HISTORY OFF command, HISTORY DETAIL resumes inserting detailed messages in the history file specified by the last "FileName" parameter.

An ASCII file in which the history details will be saved. If the file name includes spaces, enclose it in double quotation marks; for example:

"C:\My Documents\My filename.txt"

If the ASCII file does not exist, your system creates it. If the file exists, the history details are added to the end of the existing file.

To record the time taken by each command for the rest of the session or until TIMEROFF.

It can be used only if preceded by HISTORY ON or HISTORY DETAIL.

It writes a time stamp for each command that indicates the total time elapsed since HISTORY TIMERRUN was first called. Once it is called, the time it keeps remains in effect for the rest of the session.

To stop recording time taken by each command for the rest of the session.

To start recording the time elapsed for a certain series of Events.

It can be used only if preceded by HISTORY ON or HISTORY DETAIL.

If HISTORY TIMERSTART is called after HISTORY TIMERRUN, the time stamp displayed for each command thereafter is the time elapsed since TIMERSTART was called. Once HISTORY TIMERSTOP is called, all commands thereafter will display the total elapsed time.

To stop recording the time elapsed for a certain series of Events.

• >>> Total number of values in the DataArea:
• >>> Total number of values uploaded:

• ">>> DOWNLOAD peak memory usage (MemKb)"—gives peak memory usage during DOWNLOAD command
• ">>> Populated DATAAREA with N values (MemKb)"—tells how many values were added to the DATAAREA
