Sync Tab
The Sync tab is shown for PCIe traces with Gen 3 PCIe events at 8.0 GT/s. This tab shows the
sync bits for ordered set events. However, the Sync tab refers you to LaneView for other Gen3
PCIe events, such as packets and non-OS events because the Inspector does not display these
events as one byte per lane per line like it displays OS events. However, LaneView displays all
events as one byte per lane per line, so it is more appropriate to look at sync bits for all events.
Tree Tab
Shows the tree structure of the data when mapped to the protocol interpretation being used. You
can see the structure of the frame and values associated with all protocol elements discovered
within the frame. For example, the display of a Fibre Channel frame shows the start of frame type
derived from the SOF value, end of frame values including CRC, as well as the interpretation of
fields within the header. If you click one of the elements in the tree structure, the corresponding
hex data will highlight as well.
The Tree Tab is composed of two areas which can be resized as needed. The left portion shows the
tree view of decoded protocols for the current event. The right portion shows the hex values for the
event and their ASCII or EBCDIC representation. The hexadecimal area can be resized for a
display of anywhere between 4 and 32 bytes of data per line. Move the slider in the middle of the
pane to resize the two areas. The

Context Menu Options for Inspector View
The right-click menu in TraceView is context-sensitive. The following features are available in the
tabs of Inspector view.

the pane, and select

found on the General tab. This option is available for all three tabs.
