Note:
When capturing PM traces, you need the ability to filter the PM primitives so you can find
commands quicker.
Filtering Direction
You can select items for filtering in a single direction or both directions by checking the
corresponding Port. By default, all ports are enabled. Uncheck the port check boxes for
ports not to include in the filter.
Filter Idle
Depending on the Filter Type (Hide/Show), Idle packets in the Sample Viewer are shown
or hidden.
Save Filter Setup
After you have set up a Filter configuration, you can save it as an SAS Filter file (*sfl) or
SATA Filter file (*.tfl) by clicking Save. You can then use it on a different capture by
clicking Load in the Filter dialog.
Filter Logic
After you have set up Filter options, you can set filter logic to And Related Items to apply
“AND” logic on related selected options (for example, SCSI commands and SAS Addresses)
or OR to apply “OR” logic on all selected options.
Multilevel Filtering
You can set up a filter in a sequential steps by Multi level filtering. In each level, you can
select specific items to “AND” to the previous level. The results of all levels show in views
(see following three figures).
