These are equivalent to the identically-named TRACE options in the miame.ini file. Since they are primarily used only for debugging, it is a handy convenience to be able to turn them on temporarily for a single job or program execution without having to modify the miame.ini file and re-launch the session. These variables accept only ON or OFF settings.

Note that depending on the operating system you are running, some of the options may not appear. For example, signals are only available under UNIX.

In most cases the output of the traces go to the ashlog.log file, which is in the same directory as miame.ini, unless specified elsewhere with the LOGDIR= command in the miame.ini.

Note that any attempt to set any other parameter, even if it is a valid parameter under AMOS, will result in the same error message ("?Invalid function").

With ATE or A-Shell/Windows most log messages can also be captured/displayed in the Debug Message window (use Ctrl+Shift+DoubleClick somewhere on the window) by opening the Properties dialog (right click on the debug message window) and activating the "Show System Traces" option along with any desired trace options.

See the table in the TRACE system paramater topic for a full listing of all options.
