Product Features
- Powerful and Intuitive CATC Trace
Analysis Software System – The CATC
Trace embeds deep understanding of the PCI Express
protocol hierarchy and intricacies. This knowledge
is presented in a colorful, intuitive, and easy-to-use
graphical display, allowing you to quickly capture
and validate PCI Express product designs.
- Lane-to-Lane Skew – Records
and displays multi-lane links for faster analysis.
- Protocol Hierarchical Viewing
– View Packet, Transaction, and Split Transaction
levels of the PCI Express protocol; increased
drill-down detail for PCI Express primitives,
errors, payloads, or individual packets.
- Advanced Triggering – Allows
you to trigger on various PCI Express Events
such as Link Conditions, TLP Headers, DLLP Messages,
Data Payload, etc.
- Lane-Reversal Compatible
– Trigger, record, and display PCI Express traffic
logically regardless of the physical configuration
of the lanes.
- Statistical and Error Reporting
– Provides you with a quick summary of the trace
file to identify and track error rates, abnormal
link, or timing conditions.
- Raw Recording Mode – Records
the bytes exactly as they come across the link,
allowing debugging of PHY layer problems.
- Auto Sense Lane Width – Analyzes
all negotiation traffic between devices with
different lane widths, eliminating the need
to set up lane widths before a trace.
- Lane Swizzling Support –
Allows board developers to lay out lanes in
a non-standard order, simplifying board design.
- Bifurcated Lane Support –
Supports multilink operations where PCI Express
ports are bifurcated into narrower links.
- Independent Power Supply
– Record traces on systems during power up so
that the full training sequences can be monitored
accurately.
- Powerful Real-time BusEngine Protocol
Processor Technology – Sophisticated
triggering and filtering help focus on critical
protocol data and isolate important protocol
traffic, specific errors, or data patterns.
- Field-upgradeable Firmware and Engine
– Positions you to receive the latest PETracer
enhancements and future additional capabilities.
Allows field upgrades from X8 to X16 systems.
- 8 GB Data Buffer – Capture
long time windows for in-depth analysis and
identification of erratic problems.
- 10/100 Mb/s Ethernet Connectivity
– Allows connection to an Ethernet
network and sharing of analyzer resources by
multiple engineers.
