BTTracer Protocol Analyzer Users ManualCATC Version 1.0
user-defined set of trigger events. The unit can also be triggered by an
externally supplied signal. An external DB-9 connector provides a path for
externally supplied data or timing data to be recorded along with bus traffic.
This DB-9 connector also provides a path for BTTracer to transmit
externally two control, timing, or recovered signals for purposes of probing
and use by other circuitry.
The BTTracer software provides powerful search functions that enable
investigation of particular events and allow the software to identify and
highlight specific events. In addition to immediate analysis, you can print
any part of the data. Use the Save As feature to save the data on disk for later
viewing. The program also provides a variety of timing information and
data analysis reports.
1.3 Automation
The BTTracer software includes an Application Program Interface (API) for
developing testing programs and scripts in C++ and Visual Basic. The API
reproduces most of the commands embodied in the BTTracer trace viewer
software. This API allows users to automate procedures that otherwise have
to be run manually via the trace viewer software. The Automation API can
be run locally on the PC attached to BTTracer or remotely over a network
connection.
