Chapter 4: Reading CATC Traces

4.1 Viewing PCI Express CATC Traces

PETracer™ displays traffic as labeled, color‐coded, and time‐stamped rows. 

Tool tips provide details about fields within the CATC Trace. Hold the mouse 
cursor over a field to see a tool tip. 

Additional information is available from pop‐up menus. For example, if you 
click the left mouse button on the first cell in a packet a menu appears with an 
option to view Raw 10b Codes.

4.2 Expand and Collapse Data Fields

Packet data fields are displayed in a short format by default. 

You can view a data field’s long format by performing one of the following three 
actions:

Click the small triangle in the left corner.

Double-click anywhere in the data field.

Click once in the Data Field with the left mouse button, then choose
Expand Data from the pop-up menu.

A repeat of any above methods causes the display to return to a Short Data 
format.
