Making Your First Recording
Connect Summit T28 to the system under test using an interposer or probe, and then configure the Recording Options.
You can then test the Analyzer by creating a short snapshot recording.
Connect Summit T28 to System under Test using an Interposer or Probe
For a slot interposer, do the following:
1. Insert the slot interposer into a PCI Express slot that you want to monitor.
2. Insert the PCI Express device into the PCIe connector on top of the interposer.
3. Connect Summit T28 to the interposer with Analyzer Y cables. Connect cable Side A to the Upstream port of the
Analyzer, and connect cable Side B to the Downstream port.
4. Connect power to the interposer using the provided 12-V power adapter.
For Mid Bus Probe or other types of probes and interposers, please see the Summit T28 User Manual.
Configure Recording Options
1. From the Setup menu, select Recording Options.
2. Select the General tab and then choose Summit T28 as the Analyzer type.
3. In the Link section, specify the lane width of the PCI Express link to be analyzed. The rest of the settings in this section
can be left at the factory defaults for most PCI Express systems.
4. For multi-lane PCI Express links, the Analyzer needs to observe link training to record link traffic correctly.
5. Click OK at the bottom of the Recording Options dialog box to apply the Analyzer recording settings specified.
Start Recording
1. Start a recording session by clicking the Record button in the toolbar. Recording is tracked and reported on an
activity meter in the status bar.
2. After the recording buffer fills, uploading starts automatically. PCI Express traffic is saved to the hard drive as the file
specified in the recording options, and this file is opened in the application for you to view the traffic.
Note: You can interrupt a session by pressing the Stop button. If Recording is finished and Upload has started but has not
finished, a message box appears. You can:
• Continue uploading.
• Abort the upload and flush the data.
• Abort the upload and preserve all the previously saved data.
