TraceView Configuration
TraceView comes with a variety of pre-defined configurations that can be selected from the File
menu. These standard configurations are:
• Fibre Channel
• FICON
• Gigabit Ethernet
• iSCSI
• Ports Side-by-Side
• SAS
• SATA
• PCIe
For Xgig TraceView 3.1 and later versions, TraceView automatically detects the physical layer
protocol in an opened capture and it loads the default configuration matching that protocol if the
last configuration doesn't match that protocol.
If any of the default configurations does not fit your specific needs, you can modify them and
overwrite the files in the
.../Viavi/Xgig Analyzer/TraceView Configs/Default directory.
There are other pre-defined configurations supplied in the Xgig Analyzer installation folder that
may better suit your configuration needs. Select
Load Configuration... from the File menu and
navigate to the
.../Viavi/Xgig Analyzer/TraceView Configs/Default
directory to load any of these
configurations. Configurations in this directory that begin with the prefix Default are those already
available from TraceView menus. Check with customer support if you need a complete description
of these configurations or you would like to suggest a standard configuration that should be added
to the product.
Saving a Configuration
An Xgig TraceView configuration file controls the display of data. All columns, colors, searches,
finds, groups, and views are saved with the configuration. You can restore the display by loading
the configuration file at a later time.
