8.2 General Tab
The General Page presents options that affect all recordings:
Recording Type: Sets the trigger mechanism for the recording: Snapshot, Manual
Trigger, or Event Trigger.
Target Analyzer: Presents a menu with options for selecting an Analyzer platform:
• PETracer Edge
• PETracer ML
• PETracer ML (2 Units)
• PETracer EML
• PETracer Summit
• Summit T2-16
Buffer Size: Causes the Analyzer to record traffic to its buffer and then upload the
CATC Trace to the host machine. Recordings are limited in size to the size of the
Analyzer's buffer (4 GB per direction).
Trigger Position: Controls the percentage of buffer allocated for pre- and post-buffer
recording.
Trigger On (Simple Mode): Error, Link Up/Link Down. TS1, TS2, FTS, Any TLP, Config
Rd, Config Wr, IO Rd, IO Wr, Mem Rd, Mem Wr, Message, Completion, InitFC1, InitFC2,
ACK, NAK, and/or PM.
Filter Out (Simple Mode): SKIP Ordered Sets and/or UpdateFC DLLP are provided.
Trace Filename & Path: Sets the path and CATC Trace name for the recording.
Options Name: Sets a descriptive label for the Recording Options so you can more
easily recall what settings are in the Recording Options file.
Link: Settings: For link width, inhibiting recording, polarity, external reference clock,
swapping recording channels, inverting link polarity, and descrambling.
Upload Size (Advanced Mode): Causes the Analyzer to upload a portion of the
Analyzer's buffer. This option lets you look at part of the CATC Trace. Half of the uploaded
CATC Trace is pre-buffer and half post-trigger.
Save As MultiSegment Trace (Advanced Mode): Divides the recording into segments
so as to make very large recordings more easily uploaded and viewed. If you are planning
to create a large recording, you might want to test this option to see how it affects
performance. Large CATC Trace files are easier to navigate but slower to open.
Misc (Advanced Mode): Turns on trigger beep, sets external clocking (EML only), allows
external interface signals to be saved into the CATC Trace, and tells the Analyzer to use
whatever TC to VC mapping was used in the last recording (to re-use previously
discovered Configuration Space data) in all future recordings. Also presents a button for
manually mapping the Traffic Classes to Virtual Channels.
