The CATC Trace utilizes a Windows-based graphical display that has been optimized for
fast and easy navigation through a captured traffic session. Users are alerted as
violations are detected at all levels of the protocol layering and can easily drill down to
areas of interest or can collapse and hide fields that are not relevant. Protocol data can
be viewed in several ways from logical to chronological, as well as by events unique to
PCI Express.
You can find errors quickly by using powerful triggering, filtering, and error reporting. You
can view meaningful reports about performance and protocol behavior in real time and
as post-captured traffic. You can know that your data is accurate through CRC
rechecking, which produces reliable and complete decodes of Transaction Layer Packets
(TLPs), Data Link Layer Packets (DLLPs), and all PCI Express primitives. For deeper
analysis, you can display packet contents as raw 10-bit codes.
Powerful display views allow for easy analysis of protocol traffic.
PCI Express PETracer Edge users who are budget conscious today can get started with
the PRO and move to EXPERT functionality later.
