A filter causes the Analyzer to filter in or out specified events from the recording If events are filtered out of the recording they are excluded from the Analyzer s buffer and not simply hidden from the CATC Trace The purpose of filtering is to preserve recording memory so you conduct longer recording sessions and exclude events that do not interest you A filter causes the Analyzer to filter in or out specified events from the recording so you can preserve recording memory and thereby increase the duration of your recording Filtering also lets you exclude unwanted data so your CATC Trace displays only the traffic that interests you To enable or disable filtering place an event button into either the Global State cell or the Sequence cell then right click the button and choose an Action see previous topic From the sub menu select Filter In or Filter Out Global State active at all times Global State active at all times FILTER IN BIETER DENT Teledyne LeCroy 155 Chapter 9 Recording Options Summit User Manual 156 Teledyne LeCroy Summit User Manual Chapter 10 BitTracer Recording Chapter 10 BitTracer Recording 10 1 Overview Note BitTracer Recording is an optional feature The PE Tracer Summit or Summit T2 16 analyzer has an optional BitTracer data capture mode which captures bi directional link traffic in raw format The BitTracer recording mode captures and displays traffic before lane to l
