Using the Advance Search function.
Marked packets can be exported to a Analyzer Packet file (*.fsp) or to a text file using the 'Export' function
in the 'File' menu of the Recorder.
Mark / Unmark with mouse clicks
To mark/unmark a packet with a mouse click, click left to the colored packet rectangles in the Packet View
(completely left in the table). A black dot (left of the colored packet rectangle) indicates marked packets. If
you only need to mark or unmark a few packets, this is a quick and easy way to do this.
Mark / Unmark with menu functions
To mark/unmark a lot of packets, you can use the Mark and Unmark menu functions described above in
the ‘menu’ paragraph. Using these functions you can mark or unmark all packets or a range of packets.
Using the range mark/unmark function you can also choose between isochronous and asynchronous
packets and some additional conditions (channel, source and destination ID).
Mark / Unmark with Packet Search function
Using the Advanced Packet Search function you will be able to mark/unmark a more specific selection of
packets. See the Packet Search function for more information about packet searching.
7.8. Packet Searching
Packets and events can be marked. You can mark or unmark them individually or use a Packet Search
dialog. You can mark or unmark packets by specifying search criteria, such as packet type, its
acknowledge type, packet speed and values of specific header or data fields. A packet search can be
peformed on all packets or on the marked packets so that you can narrow the search step by step. You
can easily step through marked packets to investigate them and marked packets can be exported to a
Analyzer packet file (*.fsp) or text file.
Marked packets will have a black dot left in the packet list of the Packet View (left to the colored packet
rectangle). See
Packet Marking for more information about packet marking.
7.8.1. How to use it
When selecting the Advanced Search in the Search menu of the Recorder window, the Search dialog will
be shown. An example is shown below. Here you can specify a selection of packets that have to be
marked or unmarked. The selection consists of a combination of sets. A set consists of all packets that
satisfy a number of selection conditions. The conditions on which packets in a set are selected are: Packet
Type, Acknowledge type, Packet speed, specific field values of the Packet Header and specific field
values of the Packet Data, or a combination of these.
You can choose if the selected packets need to be marked or unmarked. When marking, you can choose
if the current marked packets need to be unmarked, and if you only want to search in the currently marked
ones (see below for more details).
Apart from selecting packets on specific conditions, some packet types (like phy packets) and events (like
bus resets) may be included in the selection directly.
Below we will describe the different parts of the Search Dialog in more detail.
