Trigger On (Bit Tracer Recording in PETracer Summit or Summit T2-16): Allows you
to select the Upstream and Downstream Symbol on which to trigger from a drop-down
list of bits or by typing a symbol code into the window. Note: Leaving a window blank
results in no trigger in that direction.

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.

The PETracer application forces this option when the user selects a large buffer size for
recording. This is done to limit the size of individual trace files to a level that the PETracer
application can efficiently work with. The maximum size of the recording buffer that can
still be used for single trace recordings depends on other options selected, like link width.

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.
