State AnalysisThis chapter explains how to configure the Fibre ChannelAnalysis Probe to perform state analysis. The configurationsoftware on the flexible diskette sets up the format specificationmenu of the logic analyzer.Installation QuickReferenceThe following procedure describes the major steps required toperform measurements with the Fibre Channel Analysis Probe.1. After removing the probe tip assemblies, plug the logicanalyzer cables into the Analysis Probe cable headers.See page 13 of this manual for details.2. Insert one or two GBICs into the GBIC slots on the sidesof the unit.3. Plug the power supply connector into the power jack onthe side of the FS4300 and then connect the powersupply to a wall socket using the power cord provided.4. Attach the Fibre Channel Analysis Probe to the FibreChannel links.5. Configure the FS4300 by setting the switchesappropriately.Load the logic analyzer configuration file by loading theappropriate file from the appropriate FS4300 software diskette.See page 17 of this manual for details.Setting ConfigurationSwitchesThe connection to the Analysis Probe can be configured using anumber of switches. The switch function is indicated on the unitand described in the following sections.Disabling the GBICTransmitterFor each channel there is a switch to disable the GBICtransmitter. Setting the switch labeled GBICn TX to the disableposition will disable the GBIC for channel n (where n is either 1or 2). To enable the GBIC transmitter for a channel set theappropriate switch to the enable position.Selecting Fibre ChannelSourceFor each channel the Fibre Channel data may be sourced fromeither the GBICs or the SMA connectors. Two switches (perchannel) are used to select the source of data to the LogicAnalyzer from the GBIC to the SMAs. The markings on theFS4300, near the SMA connectors indicate the data paththrough the two switches. For example, with the FS4300orientated so that the GBICs are on the left and the two source22
selection switches both set to the down position the Channel 1data to the analyzer will come from the Channel 1 GBIC. If theleft most switch is now moved to the up position then Channel 1data will be sourced from the Channel 1 SMAs. The other sourceselection switch should be permanently left in the down position(for Channel1, up for Channel 2).Enables DataRetiming forChannel 1Selects GBIC orSMA. This positionselects GBIC forChannel 1..This switch must bedown. (Channel 2switch must be up)Selecting Feed-Throughor Loop-BackData Re-TimingThe switch in the center of the unit allows the Analysis Probe tobe configured as either a feed-through device or a loop-backdevice. With the switch in the right position (marked FEEDTHROUGH), data entering Channel 1 GBIC will exit Channel 2GBIC and vice versa. With the switch in the left position (markedLOOP BACK), data entering Channel 1 GBIC will “loop back”and exit the Channel 1 GBIC. Similarly data entering theChannel 2 GBIC will “loop back” and exit the Channel 2 GBIC.To reduce jitter the Analysis Probe has the capability to retimethe data on each channel before sending it out on the otherchannel. The switches at the top and bottom of the unit, above(Channel 2) and below (Channel 1) the LED’s marked RETIMEOK enable the retiming of the data before it leaves the AnalysisProbe (see figure above).Enabling ClockSuppressionThe switches marked CLK SUPP enable filtering using clocksuppression for each channel (see section 2.1). With the switchset to the OFF position the FS4300 generates a clock to thelogic analyzer for all events on the associated channel. As aconsequence all events will be passed to the logic analyzer’smemory and filtering of duplicate primitives or data payload byselecting the logic analyzer’s clocks will not be possible. Settingthis switch to the ON position causes the FS4300 to generateseparate clocks for some events and therefore allows filtering ofdata prior to storage in the logic analyzer’s memory.23
