Chapter 8: BitTracer Trace Files
8.1 Overview
Note: BitTracer is an optional feature.
BitTracer displays bi-directional link traffic in raw format. The BitTracer mode captures
and displays traffic before lane-to-lane de-skew operations and before descrambling of
10b bytes. The BitTracer mode includes support for multiple logical links (bifurcations) on
a single physical link.
The BitTracer mode has its own user interface, which provides characterizations of link
traffic that are not available in the standard protocol analyzer mode.
You can export BitTracer recordings for viewing in CATC Trace format.
8.2 Views Available for Captured Data
BitTracer mode displays captured data lane-by-lane and byte-by-byte in each direction
(upstream and downstream), with the time scale progressing left to right.
Other views are provided for timing measurements, marker placement, physical layer
errors, captured symbol types, packets, events, and decoding of ordered sets and
packets. You can view any or all displays simultaneously, using the Windows selection
in the View menu.
