A *.mon-file can be created by using command 'Save to file'.
Note!
Regard the alternative way of saving a trace by using the commands of menu
'Extras' 'Save trace values'.
'Save to target'
With this command in online mode a trace configuration, which is available in a file in
XML format (*.mon), can be loaded into the controller (target).
The standard dialog for opening a file will be available, where per default files with
extension *.mon will be displayed. Regard in this concern the possibility to save trace
configurations in *.mon-files (XML format) 'Save to file'.

'Load from target'
With this command the trace (configuration + values) which is currently used on the
controller can be loaded to the PLC Designer project. It will be displayed in the trace
window and can be set as active project trace configuration.
'Set as project configuration'
With this command the trace configuration which is currently selected in the list of
available traces (field 'Trace' in the trace window) can be set as active configuration
within the project. The selection list besides the currently used (top position) offers all
traces which have been loaded to the project by command 'Load from file' from *.mon-
files (e.g. for the purpose of viewing).
8.13 Target Settings - The PLC-Browser
The PLC-Browser is a text-based control monitor (terminal). Commands for the
request of specific information from the controller are entered in an entry line and
sent as string to the controller. The returned response string is displayed in a result
window of the browser. This functionality serves diagnostic- and debugging purposes.
The commands available for the set target-system are made up of the PLC Designer
standard set plus a possible extension set of the controller manufacturer. They are
managed in an ini file and implemented accordingly in the runtime system.
