Chapter 1: Introduction; Crosssync Multi-Protocol Analysis Option - LeCroy CrossSync User Manual

Introduction
The LeCroy CrossSync control panel provides synchronization for complete end‐to‐end
visibility into multi‐protocol systems.
This document discusses the overview, hardware setup and software for the CrossSync
Multi‐Protocol analysis system.

CrossSync Multi-Protocol Analysis option

CrossSync is LeCroy's analyzer synchronization solution that enables time‐aligned display
of protocol traffic from multiple daisy‐chained analyzers showing packet traffic from
multiple high‐speed serial busses. A lightweight software control panel allows users to
select analyzers for synchronization and manage the recording process. Captured traffic is
displayed using the latest analyzer software (in separate windows) with all the protocol
specific search and reporting features.
Captured packets are displayed in separate windows that share a common time scale.
Navigating the traffic in either direction will scroll to the same timestamp in a
synchronized window. When using the CrossSync option, users can access the full
complement of analysis capabilities available within the individual LeCroy software.
Search, reporting, and decoding all operate normally.
The CrossSync option supports a wide combination of LeCroy's flagship analyzers
including PCI Express Gen 1, Gen 2, and Gen 3; USB 2.0 and 3.0; Serial ATA (SATA) 1.5, 3,
and 6Gbps; Serial Attached SCSI (SAS) 3 and 6Gbps; Fibre Channel 1, 2, 4, and 8 Gbps
systems and DDR3.
