Sorting
In basic mode the sorting is virtual. This means that the sorting function does not
sort the real protocol table. It is only viewed in a certain way.
The current table can be sorted by different criterion:
• No sorting. The tree is empty.
• By function block. The function blocks are grouped and sorted in an alphabetical
order.
• In alphabetical order. The signal names in the “Identification” field are used as a
sorting criteria (these names are defined by the user).
• By address. One of the Protocol attributes columns can be assumed as a “address”
column and used as a sorting criteria.
• By data type. One of the protocol attributes columns can be assumed as a “data
type” column and used as a sorting criteria.
!
The available sorting criteria is defined in the protocol image, which can only be
edited by the advanced user.
The main dialog toolbar contains a panel with five buttons for the sorting functions:
