Is there an offline reader for XML files?

I'd like to look at the XML output (and .pad and .tvd files) offline at my desk.

The CSV file has the same information but certainly having a good utility for searching and filter would be great.

The files I'm looking at are coming from my customer so I don't have a 2960B to use just to open the files.

Any suggestions would be appreciated.

I'm not sure which XML files you are referring to, but...

XML files are just text files. The internal format is different for every application (and there are thousands) that use them. If you're talking about the XML files that are produced by an Agilent Logic Analyzer, then you just need to download the latest version of the Agilent LA SW from here: http://www.agilent.com/find/16900_SW_Download. This a free, unlicensed download, that you can load on any PC. If it's from a different application, then you need the appropriate SW for that application.

.pad and.tvd file are readable only from the Agilent PCI Express Protocol Analyzer. This is also, free, unlicensed SW that you can load on any PC. You can download it from here:http://www.home.agilent.com/agilent/editorial.jspx?cc=US&lc=eng&ckey=1700317&id=1700317&cmpid=zzfindsptsoftware You WILL have to register, but there's no spam involved from this. In 5 years, I have received exactly one email due to my registering here, and that was for a critical defect.

Please respond to let us know how you make out...

I went to the page and registered for the site but when I clicked on the link to get the SW I got:

Authorization Error
You are not currently authorized to view this page. We apologize for the inconvenience. If you think this is an error, please report the problem to: Webmaster

Use your browser's Back feature to return to the previous page.

I sent a note to the webmaster so hopefully I can get authorized.

my ID is jack.r.johnson@intel.com

any suggestions would be appreciated.

BTW - the link you sent me seems to have expired - I ended up searching down thru the website to find the same page.

Thanks

Sorry about the problems with the Agilent website. I am putting a couple of versions on the Agilent ftp site at :ftp://ftp.agilent.com/cos/outbound/PCIe_Gen2/Analyzer/

Version 7.03 is the latest posted version, that you could get if you could get to the official site

Version 7.06 is a later version, that just never made it to the Agilent website at all.

They are uploading now, but for some reason my network performance is horrible and FileZilla says it will take >90 minutes to do the upload.

Once they're fully out there, you can download them. Version 7.03 is about 390 MB, and 7.06 is about 443MB.

Again, reply with success or failure...

BTW, both links work just fine for me, on 2 different computers, one on the Agilent internal network, and one connected to a regular ISP. Maybe it's a problem with the Intel network :-)

I'm suspecting that my account is not fully enabled to do these types of downloads - but that's just a guess.

I'll also ask one of the guys who has the 2960B how they get their SW loads.

Thanks for the help!

something must have changed!

I just went back in and now there is a new clickable option to download the SW!

I'm downloading 7.06 right now - which is the version on the analyzer I'm using.

Very nice.

Thanks again

Not sure what I'm doing wrong but the SW keeps saying "license manager not installed - please install license manager"

I installed the full package - maybe I should have just installed the GUI?

I'm just trying the files that I got from a customer in an offline mode - so I don't have a license for the 2960B SW.

Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Thanks

Which SW are you trying to install, the PCIe Analyzer SW, Version 7.06? IIRC, There might have been a change with that version that requires the LA License Manager to be installed. There were some new licensed features added. You have 2 choices:
- Install the 7.03 version
- Install the latest LA SW, then install the 7.06 version
