Altering Channel Layout
When a multi-trace file is selected for merge, the application recommends the channel
layout of the merged file. The ' Merge Multitrace Recording' dialog allows customization
of the display order. For example, some users may prefer to keep the initiator traffic on
links 1-4 with downstream traffic on links 5-8.
Step 1 Within the Merge Multitrace Recording' dialog, select the trace
file name that you wish to reposition to a different set of
channels.
Step 2 Use the arrow key to move up or down in the Trace Order
display
Step 3 Repeat to reposition other trace files in the display if needed
Step 4 Press the start merge button
Note: The time required to complete the merge process is dependent on system
performance. At least 1048 MB RAM and SCSI or SAS-based storage devices
are recommended when merging large files.
Merge dialog settings
• Put merged files into the special folder
If checked, this setting instructs the application to put resulting merged
files into the specified folder. If it is not set resulting files will be saved in
the folder where the merged multi-trace file is located.
• Add serial numbers of recording devices to merged custom
channel settings.
If checked, this option instructs the application to add the serial numbers
from the analyzers in front of the custom channel settings (different from
the default ones). If it is not checked, the channel settings are copied
without changes.
• Overwrite silently if merged file already exists
If checked, this option instructs the application not to prompt user in case
if a file having the same name as a resulting merged file already exists
and overwrite it silently. If it is not checked, the application will prompt
user before overwriting it.
• Close the merge dialog after merging
If checked, this option instructs the application to close the merge dialog
after merging is complete. If it is not checked, the merge dialog will
remain open.
Manually merging two or more regular trace files
Merging trace files is primarily designed for use with multi-analyzer
cascaded recordings. However, the merge feature can also be used to
combine regular trace files (*.sas) or multi-segmented files (*.smt ). To
manually merge up to 4 trace files follow steps in “Merging Multi-Trace
Files” on page 198 except click the 'Select SAS Multitrace File for
Merging...' dialog and choose up to 4 different files to merge.
