Launching Other Applications
You can launch Xgig TraceView, Xgig Performance Monitor, and Xgig Expert from the Xgig
TraceControl window. Simply click these program icons in the TraceControl toolbar, or select an
application from the
Application
menu.
Xgig TraceView
Once the Trace Buffer contains data or a trace file is saved, Xgig TraceView can be launched to
view the decode of events contained in the analyzer hardware buffer or the trace file. Select the
Xgig TraceView
icon.
Xgig Performance Monitor
The Xgig Performance Monitor application displays ongoing analyzer hardware buffer activity.
Once the link speed is set for all analyzers, Xgig Performance Monitor can be launched. Select the
Xgig Performance Monitor
icon.
See “Link Speed” in the
section above for information on setting the link speed.
Xgig Expert
Once the Trace Buffer contains data or a trace file is saved, Xgig Expert can be launched to view
expert information for the trace. Select the
Xgig Expert
icon.
Surveyor
If Surveyor is installed on the client computer, Xgig TraceControl can convert a GigE capture and
launch Surveyor to view the converted capture. The
Surveyor
icon is hidden by default when you
install the client application. To display it, use the Show/Hide feature as described above.
Domains, Links, and Sync Groups
A Sync Group is a single chassis or multiple chassis that can be time-synchronized. The Sync
Group can be controlled as a single entity through Xgig Analyzer software. A Sync Group can be
established with multiple analyzer chassis if the chassis are properly concatenated using the
Cascade ports on the chassis.
A domain is a logical set or subset of ports that belong to the same Sync Group. A domain must
contain an even number of hardware analyzer ports. Thus, a logical domain is an even number of
analyzer ports between 2 and 64. The actual maximum number of physical ports is determined by
the number of chassis concatenated together, the number of blades in each chassis, and the port
density of each blade. The physical maximum is four chassis, with four blades, with four ports on
each blade, for a maximum port count of 64.
Links are an aggregation of port-pairs. Port-pairs are a logical subset of a link, and links are a
logical subset of domains. It is not required to use links; they are only required when you need to
group more than one port-pair to carry the data for a single physical address, such as in wide-port
SAS. SAS ports can be configured as a wide port that lets multiple SAS connections (typically
four) be treated as one SAS address. In Xgig Analyzer, the multiple port-pairs that comprise the
