9.17 Export of BitTracer Capture to CATC Trace Format

You can export BitTracer captures to standard CATC Trace file formats, selecting the
Export option from the File menu. Note: You should use the Auto De-skew feature before
using the export feature.

The exported CATC Trace keeps association information with the original BitTracer file.
Such traces scroll synchronously when you select the Synchronize Traces option in the
Windows menu.

You can navigate between BitTrace and CATC Trace using the
Show in Trace View/Show Packet in Raw Trace context menu.

Exports Involving Multiple Logical Links on One

Physical Link

If a single BitTrace capture contains more than one logical link, you can export each
logical link to CATC Trace format. You may then cascade or tile the various BitTracer
exports, which then scroll together in linked fashion, along with the original BitTracer file.
The Export dialog provides options to export a limited range within the BitTrace capture
and to automatically open the exported capture in CATC Trace format.

9.18 Compressing and Expanding the Data View

You can compress (zoom out) the horizontal timing of the displayed data to view
higher-order link behaviors. You can expand (zoom in) to examine higher-resolution
views.

To zoom in or zoom out, right-click the data view, then select a command or select a zoom
icon on the toolbar.

Alternatively, to zoom in, left-click and drag across a desired range of data.

9.19 Opening and Saving BitTracer Captures

You can save BitTracer captures in various file types.

You can collate and archive these files for transport, using the
Export to Compressed Archive feature in the File menu.

The main BitTracer files have a *.peraw extension.

You can open these files in the PETracer application using the File > Open command.
