Template Editor
You can create custom templates through the
Template Editor
. Customized templates can be
applied as conditions for a capture or trigger setting in the Capture Filter Editor . A custom
template can be based on a primitive or a frame. Error templates are not editable.
A Template Editor dialog box appears when you double-click any template in the User Library
section of the
Available Templates Browser
, or, any editable template that has been dragged to
one of the panes for a capture or trigger setting. The editor uses the template you have selected as
the starting point for creating a new template. There are two template editors, the
Standard
Template Editor and the LAN Conversation Frame Editor .
The
LAN Conversation Frame Editor
provides an easier method of including addresses and ports
in a template for Ethernet frames. This editor is launched automatically when you double-click the
LAN Conversation template, which is only available when using GigE ports.
After you have made all your selections to create the new template, press OK . It is suggested that
you always rename a new template you create. You can store your new template in any location in
the
User Library .
Standard Template Editor
Creation of templates works exactly the same way as in Xgig TraceView; however, certain
functions such as port filters, counter filters, and “match anywhere” filters in Xgig TraceView are
not available in Xgig TraceControl. The options in Containing or Qualifiers tabs do not display.
The Template Editor contains an Auto-Rename check box. Enabling this feature allows the
Template Editor to generate an appropriate name based on edits the user makes.
For templates used as transitions, the Template Editor provides a counter that allows the user to
specify the number of times the event must occur. It is available only for Error, Frame, Primitive
and OOB templates for the 6G SAS/SATA, 12G SAS, and PCIe blades and Frame templates for
16G FC blades, at all speeds, in the
Wait for any of these pane. For example, setting the counter
to three on a CLOSE primitive will wait for the third CLOSE primitive before transitioning to the
next state.
