TABLE COLUMN NAMES AND DETAILS
Table column headings include the following:
 Idx: A line number.
 Time(µs): Start time of the sequence of symbols referred to by this line, in microseconds relative to the
trigger position. The trigger position is at Time 0 by definition.
 Name: The name of the sequence of symbols. Some names shown here are long, in which case there are
shorter forms used to annotate the translucent rectangles overlaying the displayed traces when the
rectangles are too narrow to fit the long form. See PCIEbus Decode Trace Annotations (on page 167) for
more information.
 Repetitions: Since startup begins with 1024 TS1 all of which are identical, and then possibly dozens more
TS1 and TS2 sequences in each state as the Link and Lane# are agreed upon, the table shows one line for
all identical, contiguous, TS1 and TS2 sequences. The number of repetitions is shown in this column. The
table also encodes a continuous run of IDL as one line, but since Logical Idle is scrambled IDL and not
repetitions of the same symbols, the number of symbols in a continuous run of Logical Idle is given in the
Details column.
 Details: Selected (by us, at design time) information from within the structure being annotated. For TS1
and TS2: Link, Lane#, N_FTS, Speeds advertised, and if present: Speed Change Request, Autonomous
Change, Training Control: Hot Reset, Disable Link, Loopback, Disable scrambling, Compliance receive.
