You can set up animation tables for your variables, but you have to manually force. You can do this by double clicking on the inputs where it shows a mimic of the PLC I/O.
Output tracing is achieved by right clicking on the PLC mimic and choosing which outputs you want to trace and the sample rate.
Unfortunately I have never come across a Telemecanique guide for this, although if you ring tech support they may have one.
The only way I managed to learn was by playing with the software.
