Launching Your Analyzer
To launch the software, double‐click the FC Icon in the Program Manager Window.
Click OK to display the software.
Operating in Simulation Mode
The system operates in Simulation Mode by default if the software detects no hardware.
However, you can operate in Simulation Mode directly, without installing the Analyzer
hardware.
The Analyzer software launches and displays the appropriate tool bar, but with the
limitation that the Analyzer operates only on static, previously captured, bus data.
Limitations
Simulation Mode lets you try all of the available functions, but the system is not
capturing any real data and is displaying only pre‐captured results.
Using the Software
The SierraFC M8‐4 application has protocol analysis software to capture data, trigger on
Events, and save. Easy Mode allows standard Trigger and Data capture. Advanced Mode
(see figure below) allows you to program custom triggering in and out, capturing, state
jumps, and timers. (
See “Protocol Analysis” on page 31. )
