2.3.3 Status Information on the Control Window
The Status bar located just below the Configuration bar on the
Control
window provides a quick look at
current activity in the analyzer.
l
Capture Status displays Not Active, Paused or Running and refers to the state of data capture.
o
Not Active means that the analyzer is not currently capturing data.
o
Paused means that data capture has been suspended.
o
Running means that the analyzer is actively capturing data.
l
% Used
The next item shows how much of the buffer or capture file has been filled. For example, if you are
capturing to disk and have specified a 200 Kb capture file, the bar graph tells you how much of the
capture file has been used. When the graph reaches 100%, capture either stops or the file begins to
overwrite the oldest data, depending on the choices you made in the
System Settings .
l
Utilization/Events
The second half of the status bar gives the current utilization and total number of events seen on the
network. This is the total number of events monitored, not the total number of events captured. The
analyzer is always monitoring the circuit, even when data is not actively being captured. These graphs
allow you to keep an eye on what is happening on the circuit, without requiring you to capture data.
2.3.4 Frame Information on the Control Window
Frame Decoder information is located just below the Status bar on the Control window. It displays two pieces
of information.
l
Frame Decoder (233 fps) displays the number of frames per second being decoded. You can toggle this
display on/off with Ctrl-D, but it is available only during a live capture.
l
#132911 displays the total frames decoded.
l
100%
displays the percentage of buffer space used.
2.3.5 Control Window Menus
The menus appearing on the Control window vary depending on whether the data is being captured live or
whether you are looking at a .cfa file. The following tables describe each menu.
