General Function
3G/DigRF trace support requires the following hardware components:
A 3G/DigRF specific menu setup can be found on the installation CD. This setup file does the basic
PowerIntegrator settings and adds a DigRF pull down menu to the Trace32 GUI.
copy all files to your Trace32 working directory and run the setupdigrf.cmm file.
The PowerIntegrator is configured in a 2 GSample/s mode and has to be connected to any type of
TRACE32 debug box. In 2 GSample/second mode the number of PowerIntegrator trace-channels is limited
to 4 signals.
The PROTOanalyzer decodes the whole transmission, considering the 3G/DigRF specifications.
General Function
The results of the Protocol Analysis are time correlated to other Trace32 tools. This way there is a close
linkage between the display of 3G/DigRF activity and program-execution and vice versa.
two channels with a sampling rate of 2 GSample/s for RX, TX sampling. For 3G/DigRF mode
312 MHz this means 6 samples per bit.
two channels with a sampling rate of 125 MSample/s for status signal sampling like SysClkEn
and SysClk.
For 312 MHz mode a maximum of around 8MBits (3G/DigRF bits; for RX, TX each) can be
traced.
For low/mid speed mode a maximum of around 512 KBit (3G/DigRF bits) can be traced.
Transient detection prevents recording as long as there is no signal activity which expands the
recording time. The minimum recording time is 25 ms.
General Function
Probes
The probes only can be used with a PowerIntegrator, they are not supported by the PowerTrace II!
Two probes to capture the differential inputs of one RX and one TX channel
One probe to capture the single ended inputs of SysClkEn and SysClk
Active probe design to capture signals close to the target. This minimizes target signal
disturbance
Voltage range 0 3.3 V, less then 1 pF capacitive load, 700 k input resistance
NOTE: Tracing of SysClk and SysClkEn is optional. The PROTOanalyzer can handle the missing signals.

Features
LIST display: Shows the appearance of 3G/DigRF transmissions as a listing.
CHART display: Shows the period of time in which a transmission was active.
STATISTIC display: Shows how often specific transmissions were active. Additionally it calculates the min/
max and average transmission times.
DRAW display: Shows the I and Q data of the payload as time correlated graph

This visualization shows the duration of every transmission frame and when the bus is in sleep or idle mode.
Its very useful for checking the traced transmissions for any errors or rare message frames.

copy all files to your Trace32 working directory and run the setupdigrf.cmm file.
The menu topic Config DigRF Params opens a file which contains the default parameters for the
PROTOanalyzer. These parameters are used when activating one of the menu topics. Please modify the
parameters to your requirements.

FAQ
Q: The timing display does not show any channel
A: Check if the single ended probe is connected to PowerIntegrator connector A.
Q.: The PROTOanalyzer shows nothing, but the timing display shows activity.
A.: Check the setting of the Default-Clock-Mode. The PROTOanalyzer has to know the current ClockMode
to detect the 3G/DigRF bits. The PROTOanalysis starts calculation with the Default-Clock-Mode setting.
A: Check the SysClkEnable signal. Try PROTOanalysis with SysClkEnType=NONE.
