The analyzer allows for
examining captured data at the Command, State, and Signal levels. The
different display formats can be individually displayed or simultaneously
displayed. When displayed simultaneously, each display can be
automatically synchronized with the others, or used independently. A
histogram provides a graphical summary of trace activity for the entire
trace and makes it easy to point and click to any position within the
trace.
The MPAX's Capture Engine
pushes protocol recording to new limits with the following features:
Transitional Timestamping,
Bandwidth-4.5 Gbytes/sec,
Depth-Stores up to 4 Gbytes,
Segmentable Trace Buffer

Triggering is used to stop the trace when
a specific event or sequence of events occurs. The analyzer also provides
for stopping when the buffer is full, or looping endlessly until the user
manually stops the trace. High-Level triggering options are provided for
each bus. The user can also create custom triggers using the powerful
Trigger Sequencer. More Information

Pre-configured
filters for each bus allow the user to conserve buffer space and reduce
the stored data to those items that are of interest. Custom filters can
also be created. More Information

Dedicated hardware is provided for
counting events. Software processes this data providing simple totals, or
ratios of events per time or per other events, such as Transfers per
Second, Transfers per Command, Errors per Second, or Data Transfers per
Error. These ratios are shown as Current Values, Average Values, and
Peak Values, providing a summary of the changes over time.
The analyzer decodes many
of the high-level protocols that are transmitted on each bus. The Command
listing is typically used for displaying high-level protocols which may be
transferred across a bus, while the State Listing typically displays
native, low-level protocols.
