From Summary View, set the view preferences to

The station address and name are provided in the table or chart. If a Surveyor name
table exists with an address-to-name entry for this station, the
Station Name

will be the station name in the name table. If no entry in a Surveyor name table
exists, the name of the
Station Name
field will be the vendor identifier followed by
the last 6 bytes of the station address.

are those transmitting the largest relative percentage of frames. The chart can be
customized to show the “top ten” stations based on a different station information
field. The
Bar
and
Pie
buttons toggle the type of graphic display. The Pause/Resume
button allows you to pause or resume real-time update of the graph.
