Chapter 9: BitTracer Recording

9.1 Overview

Note: BitTracer Recording is an optional feature.

The PETracer Summit or Summit T2-16 analyzer has an optional BitTracer data capture
mode, which captures bi-directional link traffic in raw format. The BitTracer recording
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 recording 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.

PETracer Summit and Summit T2-16 Only

Note: BitTracer Mode recording is only available in the Teledyne LeCroy PETracer
