The user may click on any specific primitive in order to exclude it from the recorded trace.
Primitives are organized in a "nested" hierarchy, so for example the user may click on the
AIP checkbox to exclude all AIP primitives, or may expand the selection by clicking on
the "+" sign next to the AIP, which opens a list of specific AIP primitives and allows the
user to specify only specific primitives such as the AIP (WAITING ON DEVICE).
Note: Clicking on a collapsed set of primitives selects (or deselects) all
primitives in that set, and clicking on the "master" primitive selects
(or deselects) all primitives in that set even if the list is open.
Note: In all screens with multiple checkboxes, a global select or global
deselect option is provided by using CNTL-Click (holding down the
CNTL key while left-clicking the checkbox). So the simplest method
to exclude all SAS primitives is to open the SAS Primitives type, and
then CNTL-Click on any checkbox to select the entire list.
Note: If you wish to edit or delete an event or action while editing Global
Filtering, Global Rules or Sequences, you can right-click on the
event and you will be given the choice to edit or delete the
event/action. You can also edit the event or action by
double-clicking on the event or action.
SATA Primitives
Filtering on SATA primitives is exactly analogous to the SAS Primitives described above,
with the exception that there is no nesting structure provided for the more limited set of
available SATA primitives.
IDLE
Filtering on IDLE characters can be controlled by clicking on "Idle" under the Filter
Conditions Type list. This brings up the following screen:
By default, once this condition is selected all IDLE characters are filtered on all channels.
If the user wishes to change this default setting, individual channels can be deselected
(or again, all channels can be deselected with one CNTL-Click on any checkbox).
SATA XXXX
Any SATA traffic which follows a SATA_CONT primitive is "filler" traffic to keep the link
alive and active, until a valid SATA primitive (other than ALIGN) is sent to the receiver.
This filler traffic is referred to as "SATA XXXX". In most cases this traffic is of no interest
and can be filtered out of the recorded trace. Selecting this option brings up a screen
very similar to the IDLE screen shown above, where the user can decide which channels
to deselect.
