If applying the configuration may result in any loss of data, you will receive a warning message.
Saving a Configuration
A TraceControl configuration file controls triggering analyzers, specifies capture filters, and other
conditions such as frame size. All configuration information specified in the Configuration Editor
is saved with the configuration. You can restore the configuration by loading the configuration file
at a later time.
If you have already saved the configuration, use the
Save Configuration
option from the
File
menu to save updates to the configuration.
To Save a New Configuration File:
1 Select Save Configuration As… from the File menu, or click the Save Configuration
button in the TraceControl main window menu bar, and select
Save Configuration As....
The
Save As dialog box appears.
2
If needed, use the dialog box to navigate to the folder where you want to store the
configuration file. Configuration files can be stored in any location.
3
Name the Xgig TraceControl configuration file and press
Save
.
Saving a Configuration to TC API
To save a TraceControl configuration in a format that can be loaded by the TraceControl API,
select
File > Export Configuration to TC API . This saves the file with a
.tccapi
extension.
Files with this extension can be loaded into the TraceControl API. For more information about the
TraceControl API, see the TraceControl API Help system.
Loading a Configuration
Loading a configuration file reads the contents of the configuration file and displays it in the
TraceControl window for all analyzer ports in a domain. It does not load the configuration to the
hardware; the configuration is downloaded to the hardware when you start the capture.
Configuration files for TraceControl must have an extension of
.tcc
.
A configuration can be loaded into a domain.
1
Select
Load Configuration Into Existing Domain…
from the
File
menu, or click the
File
button in the toolbar, and select Load Configuration Into Existing Domain… . The
Open
dialog box appears.
2 If needed, use the dialog box to navigate to the folder containing the configuration file.
Configuration files can be stored in any location.
3 Select the TraceControl configuration file and press OK . The configuration will be loaded for
all the analyzer ports in the domain.
To load the default configuration into an existing domain, select Load Default Configuration
from the
File
menu.
