CrossSync Software Overview

The

 

CrossSync

 

control

 

panel

 

does

 

not

 

have

 

a

 

separate

 

installer

 

and

 

instead

 

is

 

embedded

 

in

 

the

 

Protocol

 

Suite

 

installers.

The

 

solution

 

includes

 

a

 

lightweight

 

software

 

control

 

panel

 

that

 

starts

 

and

 

stops

 

recording

 

across

 

daisy

chained

 

analyzers.

 

Users

 

can

 

sync

 

or

 

un

sync

 

traces

 

on

the

fly.

 

The

 

Time

 

Tune

 

feature

 

provides

 

a

 

real

time

 

slider

 

for

 

adjusting

 

the

 

off

set

 

between

 

displays.

 

This

 

makes

 

it

 

easy

 

to

 

see

 

latency

 

across

 

busses.

 

Figure 3.1: CrossSync Control Panel

The

 

CrossSync

 

control

 

panel

 

requires

 

the

 

analyzers

 

to

 

be

 

connected

 

using

 

their

 

Sync

 

ports.

 

This

 

Sync

 

port

 

is

 

built

in

 

to

 

every

 

Advisor

 

T3

 

and

 

Sierra

 

M6

1

 

analyzer.

 

For

 

owners

 

of

 

LeCroy’s

 

Summit

 

T3,

 

Voyager

 

M3i,

 

and

 

Sierra

 ‐

based

 

analyzers,

 

the

 

Sync

 

port

 

is

 

available

 

as

 

an

 

optional

 

expansion

 

board

 

(ACC

EXP

002

X)

 

that

 

can

 

be

 

installed

 

by

 

users

 

in

 

just

 

a

 

few

 

minutes.

 

This

 

allows

 

developers

 

to

 

leverage

 

analyzers

 

already

 

in

 

the

 

lab

 

to

 

help

 

resolve

 

multi

protocol

 

problems

 

at

 

the

 

system

 

level.
