> If multiple trace tasks with the same name need to be performed at the same time or a trace task needs to be performed multiple times concurrently, different task IDs must be specified in **startTrace**. If the trace tasks with the same name are not performed at the same time, the same task ID can be used. For details, see the **hiTraceMeter.finishTrace** example.
- Example
```
hiTraceMeter.startTrace("myTestFunc", 1);
hiTraceMeter.startTrace("myTestFunc", 1, 5); // The expected duration of the trace task is 5 ms.
```
## hiTraceMeter.finishTrace
finishTrace(name: string, taskId: number): void
Stops a trace task.
- Parameters
| Name| Type| Mandatory| Description|
| -------- | -------- | -------- | -------- |
| name | string | Yes| Name of the trace task to start.|
> To stop a trace task, the values of name and task ID in **finishTrace** must be the same as those in **startTrace**.
- Example
```
hiTraceMeter.finishTrace("myTestFunc", 1);
```
```
// Start track tasks with the same name concurrently.
hiTraceMeter.startTrace("myTestFunc", 1);
// Service flow
hiTraceMeter.startTrace("myTestFunc", 2); // The second trace task starts while the first task is still running. The first and second tasks have the same name but different task IDs.
// Service flow
hiTraceMeter.finishTrace("myTestFunc", 1);
// Service flow
hiTraceMeter.finishTrace("myTestFunc", 2);
```
```
// Start track tasks with the same name at different times.
hiTraceMeter.startTrace("myTestFunc", 1);
// Service flow
hiTraceMeter.finishTrace("myTestFunc", 1); // The first trace task ends.
// Service flow
hiTraceMeter.startTrace("myTestFunc", 1); // The second trace task starts after the first task ends. The two tasks have the same name and task ID.
