busTRACE 10.0 allows you a method to view the sense codes stored in our CDB database. For example, want to quickly find out what a sense code of 02 04 01 is? To gain access to our Sense viewer, simply run the busTRACE Start Menu and choose the View Device Sense Codes option.

The application itself is broken up into two sections: Properties, and the Sense Data.

Properties

In the left pane, you enter the Sense Key, Sense Code, and Sense Code Qualifier. The Device Sense Viewer will then update its Sense Data window to show you the description for the submitted sense code.

Sense Data

You can scroll through the Sense Data list to view the list of recognized sense codes. You can also right click on an entry and copy its contents to the clipboard.

If you are only interested in sense descriptions that contain a certain string, you simply type it into the edit box at the bottom of the sense codes. For example, want to see only sense descriptions that contain "not ready" text. If so, you simply type in "not ready" into the edit box.
