1.2 CATC Trace Software

PETracer Summit and Summit T2-16 utilize the CATC Trace™ to assist users in
analyzing how PCI Express components work together, diagnose problems, and test for
interoperability and standards compliance.

The CATC Trace is a powerful and intuitive expert software system embedding detailed
knowledge of the protocol hierarchy and intricacies, as defined in the protocol
specification. The software allows the user to control the Analyzer and set specific
real-time triggering and filtering conditions. 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 on areas of interest or collapse and hide fields that are
not relevant.
