The results display shows each transaction for every layer identified in a different color
and the data direction identified with data direction arrows. Upstream traffic has an
arrow from right to left:. Downstream traffic has an arrow left to right: .

Layers can be hidden by clicking the corresponding Show/Hide button on the menu bar.
The system retains all captured data, but the display has fewer data layers for simpler
viewing.

CrossSync Control Panel

The CrossSync Control Panel allows you to select analyzers for synchronization and
manage the recording process. It supports a wide combination of Teledyne LeCroy’s
flagship analyzers including PCI Express, USB, DDR, Serial ATA (SATA), Serial Attached SCSI
(SAS), Fibre Channel (FC) and Ethernet.

CrossSync is Teledyne LeCroy’s analyzer synchronization solution that enables time‐
aligned display of protocol traffic from multiple daisy‐chained analyzers showing packet
traffic from multiple high‐speed serial busses. A lightweight software control panel allows
users to select analyzers for synchronization and manage the recording process. Captured
traffic is displayed using the latest analyzer software (in separate windows) with all the
protocol specific search and reporting features.

Captured packets are displayed in separate windows that share a common time scale.
Navigating the traffic in either direction will scroll to the same timestamp in a
synchronized window. When using the CrossSync option, users can access the full
complement of analysis capabilities available within the individual Teledyne LeCroy
software. Search, reporting, and decoding all operate normally.
