The protocol analyzer is capable of on-the-fly detection of and triggering on such events
as Primitives, Bus Conditions, SSP and SMP Frames, Data Patterns, and Errors.
Whether recording manually or with a specified trigger condition, the analyzer
continuously records the link data in a wrap-around fashion until manually stopped or until
the Trigger Event is detected and a specified post-Trigger amount of link data is recorded.
Upon detection of a triggering event, the analyzer continues to record data up to a point
specified by the user. Real-time detection of events can be individually enabled or
disabled to allow triggering on events as they happen. This includes predefined exception
or error conditions and a user-defined set of trigger events.
Recorded data is presented as a "trace" in the trace viewer as rows of color-coded
graphics. Users can then search this trace for errors and other events using advanced
search utilities, and then hide from the display all but only the most interesting and
relevant data.
The SASSuite software provides powerful search functions that enable investigation and
highlighting of specific events. In addition to immediate analysis, you can print any part
of the data. Use the Save As feature to save the data on disk for later viewing. The
program also provides a variety of timing information and data analysis reports.
