4. Improved sampling trace

Sampling trace can forcibly be executed/suspended/stopped from other PCs. This function is useful when an operator who executed sampling trace forgets to stop the sampling trace or multiple operators debug it. In addition, the sampling trace results can be output into a CSV file without square brackets ([ ]). This is convenient when showing the results as graphs and charts.
