Traffic from each analyzer can also be merged together into a single
unified display (as shown below). See Merging Multi-Trace Files on
page 198.
The merged view includes the Link Tracker display providing time
correlated analysis of DWORD level data structures.
Merging Traces
SASSuite v2.5 and later supports merging multi-trace files (*.smtt) recorded on an
Avalanche or SASTracer into a single trace display containing up to 16 bidirectional links
of traffic. The merge feature is ideal for analyzing 4 lane traffic moving both upstream and
downstream through a SAS expander device. It’s primarily intended for use when
cascading multiple analyzers together. The BNC interface is used to synchronize the
timing information across multiple systems (for configuration information, see Setup for
Cascaded Multiple Analyzer Use on page 192).
Note: Although this feature is intended for merging traces that have been
recorded as multi-trace files, it can be used for merging regular trace
files (that have a .sas or .sata file extension) as follows: Make sure
the files you want to combine are in the same folder. Select Open...
from the File menu. Choose all the files you want to combine by
holding down the "Ctrl" button and clicking on each file, then click
Open. This opens the files in a side-by-side display. Select Merge
Multi-trace... from the File menu. You will get a message saying the
file has not yet been saved, click OK and then provide a filename for
the combined trace file. You will then get the dialog shown in Step 2
below, allowing you to merge the files.
