Link Tracker Window
The Link Tracker window displays a detailed chronological view of events. Events are
shown on a primitive-by-primitive basis within columns within the window, each column
represents a single upstream or downstream channel. Time is presented as rows. Idle
time is shown by empty rows in the window. Idles can be collapsed into gray strips
running across the window.
Each time slot in the vertical axis represents the minimum time required by a dword to
traverse the bus.
The time slots are not fixed in size: they vary depending on how zoomed out the display
is. When the Link Tracker is fully zoomed in, time slots for 1.5 G traffic measure 26.66
ns and time slots for 3.0 G traffic measure 13.33 ns.
When the Link Tracker window is fully zoomed out, the grid lines disappear and the scale
changes to 1 dword equaling a line measuring one pixel in height.
