Chapter 4: Reading CATC Traces
4.1 Viewing PCI Express CATC Traces
PETracer™ displays traffic as labeled, color‐coded, and time‐stamped rows.
Tool tips provide details about fields within the CATC Trace. Hold the mouse
cursor over a field to see a tool tip.
Additional information is available from pop‐up menus. For example, if you
click the left mouse button on the first cell in a packet a menu appears with an
option to view Raw 10b Codes.
4.2 Expand and Collapse Data Fields
Packet data fields are displayed in a short format by default.
You can view a data field’s long format by performing one of the following three
actions:
•
Click the small triangle in the left corner.
•
Double-click anywhere in the data field.
•
Click once in the Data Field with the left mouse button, then choose
Expand Data from the pop-up menu.
A repeat of any above methods causes the display to return to a Short Data
format.
