Quick View
By default, the Software Settings enable
Quick
View
. Quick View allows full access to the
whole trace more quickly, especially when using a Gigabit Ethernet connection. However,
the trace is NOT written to the Host PC hard drive. To save the trace, you must manually
click
Save
.
If you uncheck
Quick
View
in the Software Settings to disable Quick View, the trace loads
more slowly, but is automatically saved to the Host PC hard drive. When Quick View is
disabled, the Viewer displays successive parts of trace data as they upload. As soon as a
trace part uploads, it is available in all trace views.
If you only need quick successive traces, and do not need to save them, keep the default
setting to enable Quick View.
If you need to save all captured traces, unchecking the Quick View setting loads traces
faster, especially for larger traces and slower connections than Gigabit Ethernet.
To refresh the viewer display with more uploaded data, scroll to the end of the trace,
using scroll bars, page down, arrow down, or CTRL
‐
End. Newly uploaded data then
appears there.
Note:
High
‐
level decoding and statistics are available only after the whole trace has uploaded.
The software automatically switches to full trace view after trace uploading finishes.
Note:
For SATA traces users must press
CTRL
Home
to go to the begining of an uploaded trace, and
CTRL
End
to go to the end of an uploaded trace.
