- Three different views of the capture buffer:
-
- You may select any combination of three different views
- of the frame data which is in the capture buffer. The
- selected views will all share the screen and be
- adjusted to fit. Any one of them can be enlarged by
- zooming it so that it fills the entire screen whenever
- you wish.
-
- The summary view:
-
- The summary view window shows several frames at a time.
- A frame is represented by one or more lines of
- condensed information, each of which shows a brief
- encoding of the most important verb or parameter for
- one protocol level of the frame. The lines are
- identified by the code name of the protocol interpreter
- which recognized that portion of the frame data.
-
- The detail view:
-
- The detail view represents only one frame, but provides
- a very complete interpretation of the fields and
- options for all the nested protocols which are
- recognized in the frame. The full display is often
- larger than the window, but you may scroll it.
-
- The lines are separated into sections for the various
- protocols. Each protocol is indicated by a title for
- its section and by a code name at the at the left of
- each line.
-
- The hex/character view:
-
- This view shows one frame in hexadecimal format with an
- ASCII or EBCDIC character translation to the right.
- Non-alphanumeric values are indicated on the right by
- the character "."
-
- By using the menu options you may pick one or the other
- translation to be used for all frames, or permit the
- system to choose automatically based on the frame type.
- In the latter case, EBCDIC will be used for MAC and SNA
- frames, and ASCII otherwise.
