Chapter 4, Xgig TraceControl Capture Configuration Configure Ports or Domains
80 Xgig Analyzer User’s Guide
Conversion for the entire domain:
Temp - Domain.hst
Conversion for port-pairs:
Temp - PortPair 0,1.hst
Temp - PortPair 2,3.hst
Conversion for ports:
Temp - Port 0.hst
Temp - Port 1.hst
Temp - Port 2.hst
Temp - Port 3.hst
When saving a domain .hst at the same time as port or port-pair .hst files, the Surveyor opens the
domain .hst. When saving multiple ports or port-pairs as .hst files, Surveyor only opens the first
port or port-pair, but it is possible to open the other ports or port-pairs with the
File > Open
menu
within Surveyor.
The
Base Capture File Name
that you set for saving the Surveyor capture sets the file names and
location used for ALL TraceControl to Surveyor conversions. If you want to save a converted
capture, it is suggested that when the capture opens in Surveyor that you save it using a new file
name. Subsequent conversions from TraceControl will attempt to convert using the same
Base
Capture File Name
. Subsequent conversions could therefore overwrite previously converted
Surveyor captures.
If the file with the Base File Name for the domain is currently open in the Surveyor application,
you will not be able to perform another conversion from TraceControl. An error message will
appear, indicating that the file is in use by another application.
Surveyor Conversion Options in TraceControl
Select
Tools > Options...
to bring up the dialog for configuring Surveyor conversion options
within TraceControl. The Surveyor tab sets options for how TraceControl captures will be
converted and saved when you hit the Surveyor button to open a capture. Only Gigabit Ethernet
capture data in TraceControl can be converted. If there is a mix of FC and Gigabit Ethernet in a
trace, only the Gigabit Ethernet data is converted.
Select the Base Capture File Name for all conversions to Surveyor. Use the Browse button to
navigate to a location and name the base file.
Select the type of conversion. All three types may be selected.
•
Convert by Domain
The entire domain is converted into a single Surveyor .hst file.
•
Convert by Port Pair
Each port pair in the domain is converted to a separate Surveyor .hst file.
•
Convert by Port
Each port in the domain is converted to a separate Surveyor .hst file.
