The ProtoSync Toolset Overview
Using The Full ProtoSync and PE-B Protocol Analysis and BitTracer Displays
ProtoSync provides advanced protocol analysis tools simultaneous with physical layer waveform displays. The
protocol analysis software provided is a viewing, analyzing, and trace printing subset of the software provided
with LeCroy’s hardware protocol analyzer product families.
Using the ProtoSync Protocol Analysis (available for USB, SATA, SAS, FiberChannel, or PCI Express) or ProtoSync-
BT Protocol Analysis and Bit Tracer display option (available for PCI Express only), signal data can be transferred
from the oscilloscope to LeCroy’s viewing and analysis subset of LeCroy’s Protocol Analysis or BitTracer software.
S ENDING D ATA TO P ROTO S YNC
ProtoSync works together with various LeCroy serial decode options to provide more detailed views of the
protocol. ProtoSync and serial decoders supports USB2, USB3, SAS, SATA, FibreChannel, and PCI Express, and if
the following are present on the LeCroy oscilloscope, complete views are obtainable:
Storage, Peripherals, and Interconnect Protocols Overview (on page 154)

Serial decode option for USB2, USB3, SAS, SATA, FibreChannel, or PCI Express

ProtoSync or ProtoSync-BT option

LeCroy’s Protocol Analysis software for USB2/3 (Voyager), PCI Express (PE Tracer), or
SAS/SATA/FibreChannel (Sierra)
Then, when the serial datastream is decoded, both CATC Protocols (Protocol Analysis software) and Bit Tracer
Data (PCI Express only) may also be concurrently shown on a separate window or display. Automatic transfer
and linkage between the two programs makes this possible. Selection of packets or bytes on either the
oscilloscope or ProtoSync display updates the other in real time for extremely simultaneous and comprehensive
physical layer and protocol layer debug and analysis.
PLEASE NOTE THE FOLLOWING:

The -BT suffix for ProtoSync-BT indicates BitTracer view capability and is therefore only used for the
PCIEbus decode option.
