In the following image, the format definition file of a SBP2 format set has been opened.
In the 'Definition' pane you see the format definitions tree. The name of the first definition is 'command'. It
starts with a field with name 'operation code'. This item is selected, so the properties of this 'Field' item are
displayed below. It is a 8 bit field of type 'Hexadecimal'.
The fields following the operation code depend on the value of the operation code. Therefore a 'switch'
item and its 'case' items are used to conditionally add additional fields. In the case of a 'MODE SENSE(6)'
operation code, a reserved field is added followed by a 'disable block descriptors' field, another reserved
field, a 'page control' field, etc.
In the 'Result' pane you see the result of the 'command' definition. For the 'operation code' we filled in the
value 'MODE SENSE(6)' and as a result we got the fields as defined in the definition tree under the 'case'
item for the 'MODE SENSE(6) case. Note that the reserved fields do not show up in the table view and
are displayed in the layout view without a field name.
You can create your own definition starting with a new (empty) format set or load an existing one, change
it to your needs and save it as a new format set. To be able to use the new format set you probably have
to change some set options and you should tell the Analyzer application where it can find the new format
set. This is described in one of the following sections.
21.1.1. Changing set options
To change the format set options, you have to select the 'Set options' tab (inside the 'Definition' pane.
Below an example of the 'Set options' page is shown.
