Features
•
Powerful and Intuitive CATC Trace Analysis Software System: The CATC Trace
embeds deep understanding of the PCI Express protocol hierarchy and intricacies.
This knowledge is presented in a colorful, intuitive and easy-to-use graphical
display, allowing you to quickly capture and validate PCI Express product designs.
• Protocol Hierarchical Viewing: Displays Packet, Transaction, and
Split Transaction levels of the PCI Express protocol, with increased drill-down detail
for PCI Express primitives, errors, payloads or individual packets.
• Advanced Triggering: Allows you to trigger on various PCI Express Events such
as Link Conditions, TLP Headers, DLLP Messages, and Data Payload.
• Lane-Reversal Compatible: Triggers, records, and displays PCI Express traffic
logically, regardless of the physical configuration of the lanes.
• Statistical and Error Reporting: Provides a quick summary of the CATC Trace file
to identify and track error rates and abnormal link or timing conditions.
• Raw Recording Mode (optional): Records the bytes exactly as they come across
the link, allowing debugging of PHY layer problems.
• Auto Speed detection: Follows link transitions through speed changes.
• Auto Polarity detection: Automatically detects lanes with inverted polarity.
• Auto Sense Lane Width: Analyzes all negotiation traffic between devices with
different lane widths, eliminating the need to set up lane widths before a trace.
• Lane Swizzling Support: Allows board developers to lay out lanes in a
non-standard order, simplifying board design.
• Powerful Real-time BusEngine Protocol Processor Technology: Sophisticated
triggering and filtering help you focus on critical protocol data and isolate important
protocol traffic, specific errors, or data patterns.
• Field-upgradeable Firmware and Engine: Positions you to receive the latest
PETracer enhancements and future additional capabilities. Allows field upgrades of
all system types.
• 8-GB Data Buffer: Capture long time windows for in-depth analysis and
identification of erratic problems.
• 10/100 MBps Ethernet Connectivity: Allows connection to an Ethernet network
and sharing of analyzer resources by multiple engineers.
