Timestamping
The hardware timestamping feature can be used in Live
Capture mode, using Profitap’s Wireshark dissector. The
dissector files can be found on the provided USB flash drive,
or in the Resource Center at: www.profitap.com.
The dissector is compatible with Wireshark (x86 and x64) 1.12.x
and 2.0.x.
Linux:
Copy the two files (profishark_1g.la and profishark_1g.so) to:
‘/usr/local/lib/wireshark/plugins/[wireshark_version]/’, from x86
or x64 depending on the Linux version.
Windows:
Copy the file (profishark_1g.dll) in:
‘C:/Program Files/Wireshark/plugins/[wireshark_version]/’, from
x86 or x64 depending on the Windows version.
The dissector can be enabled or disabled in the Wireshark
preferences (Edit -> Preferences -> Protocols -> ProfiShark ->
Decode timestamps for ProfiShark 1G).
The timestamp option must be enabled in the ProfiShark
Manager’s Features tab (see «Features» chapter).
