hexadecimal or decimal values, to correspond to the Decimal Header Format
setting. One or more Xs in a field indicate that there’s no defined value for that
field.
Make sure you’re familiar with the concept of inheritance as it relates to cell
characteristics (properties) before assigning these header values, and make sure
you're familiar with the content and use of each field. Use the check boxes to the
far right to specify the format used for the header fields (decimal or
hexadecimal), and to indicate whether the force-HEC-state property is defined.
If you’re generating a new sequence, 622Vu Advisor assigns the header values at
the sequence level, and sets up the individual cells to inherit header properties. If
you’re appending PDUs to an existing sequence, the header values specified here
are inserted into each generated cell. (An X value will cause the cell to inherit
the corresponding property in this case.)
Use the bottom-most area to:
•
Indicate whether you want to create the PDU cell-by-cell, using 622Vu
Advisor’s cell editor; or by importing the payload data from an external file
stored on your Agilent Advisor. (You can use any file, up to 6MB in size.)
•
Specify the pad character you want to use for unassigned positions in the
payload.
Click the Next button when you’re through, to begin definition of the payload.
Here the processing varies depending on whether you’re using the cell editor or a
file to fill the payload (see Using the Cell Editor below, and Obtaining the
Payload From a File on page 162).
In either case, after you’re through defining the
payload, 622Vu Advisor adds the new PDU to the
sequence you’re working on, then tells you how
many cells are in the new PDU (right). This
number includes the cells generated to store the
payload (as specified), and may include an additional cell used for padding, as
appropriate to the PDU.
Using the Cell Editor
If you request use of the cell editor, the system opens this window (shown filled
in for the first cell):
